The expulsion of the migrants In the United States, it was put on the table again this weekend. Which administration has expelled the most, that of Joe Biden either donald trump?
The US Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, was in charge of revealing it in an interview with CNN.
As noted this Sunday, in the last three years the Joe Biden Administration has “returned or expelled” more illegal migrants than in the four years of the previous Donald Trump Government (2017-2021).
He indicated that since last May, the US expelled “more people than in any year since 2015.”
However, the magnitude of the migration crisis on the southern border of the United States has resulted in the arrival of more than 2.2 million migrants in 2023.
A Wall Street Journal (WSJ) survey published this Sunday indicates that more and more American voters are focusing their attention on immigration, a dangerous issue for President Biden, who is seeking re-election.
Around 20% of those surveyed by the newspaper cited immigration as the most important thing for their vote in this year’s presidential elections. The second issue is the economy.
Both Biden and his predecessor and possible rival in the November elections traveled to the southern border of the United States this Thursday, to point out that migration is a central axis of their respective campaigns.
During his speech in the city of Brownsville, which borders Matamoros (Mexico), Biden insisted on the “need” to approve a controversial bipartisan bill that included restrictions on the right to asylum at the border in exchange for Republican support to continue funding to Ukraine and Israel in their defense against Russia and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
While the former Republican president reiterated his usual xenophobic comments about immigrants, ensuring that they are “terrorists” and that they arrive from “prisons and mental institutions.”
“They are being allowed to enter our country. And that’s horrible,” Trump said, calling Biden “probably the most incompetent president in American history” and trying to link the increase in border crossings with crime in the country.
“When someone violated the law, we captured them and deported them. We did a great job. Then there was an election (…) and from that moment on a lot of bad things started to happen. The situation changed in Texas and everywhere,” said the Republican.
