I recently received one of your replies, in which you state, “Under the previous administration, our country faced the worst border crisis in our nation’s history with over ten million illegal immigrants crossing into our country.” However, this simply isn’t true. This is an unfounded claim that is not backed up by data. It seems that it was perhaps drawn from a PEW research study in November 2023, estimating that 10.3 million illegal immigrants were living in the U.S.? But that would include immigrants who’d arrived anytime before Biden, which would be millions of them. Alternatively, it may have been based on a report put out by the Center Square, which estimated the number of border encounters made during Biden’s administration? But this would include people turned away, repeat individuals, people detained, people vetted and admitted, etc. I have yet to find any credible evidence that suggests Biden simply allowed over 10 million people to wander in unaccounted for, and I don’t appreciate my representatives making unsubstantiated claims as though they’re fact. Be better.
