A look at the lies and misleading claims made by Trump during his address to Congress

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“He overstated the numbers on his immigration crackdown

TRUMP: “Illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded. Ever.”

THE FACTS: Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday that Border Patrol apprehended 8,326 people on the U.S.-Mexico border last month. But U.S. government data show that Border Patrol routinely averaged below that number in the 1960s.

While February marked the lowest arrest total in decades, Border Patrol averaged less than February 2025 for the first seven years of 1960s. The government website does not track U.S.-Mexico border totals before 1960. Border Patrol’s monthly average was 1,752 arrests in 1961.

He inflated the number of people who entered the U.S. illegally under President Joe Biden

TRUMP: “Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States. Many of them were murderers, human traffickers, gang members.”

THE FACTS: That figure, which Trump cites regularly, is highly inflated. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported more than 10.8 million arrests for illegal crossings from Mexico from January 2021 through December 2024.”

Biden's numbers were so much better than Trump's numbers at the border.

Did you forget what....."catch and release" meant?

 

[1srelluc]

Two million in got-aways too....The figures are close enough.....They are very bad anyway you cut it.

It should have been a few thousand in total if the border had not been opened by dems. They should hang for it too.

Border patrol reported more than 10.8 million arrests…..this does not include all the illegals that made it over without detection….which is way more than are caught.

So yes, it was easily well over 20 million.

Pretty pathetic you have to go back to the 1960’s to claim President Trump is “lying”.

He has drastically reduced the numbers, more than most of us have ever seen in our lifetimes.

You just can’t give him credit, you have to hung up about his wording. All because you have a terminal case of TDS.

The "Botched Withdrawal", as you put it was negotiated 45. His State Department negotiated the Withdrawal, but only with the Taliban Leadership It was 45 who arranged for the release of 5,000 Taliban Fighters, one of whom is now the President of Afghanistan.45's State Department DID NOT talk with either Afghan Government or the Afghan Military, he only dealt with Taliban. It was also the Orange Shit Gibbon who wanted to invite the Taliban Leadership to Camp David over the 2019 Anniversary of September 11. Get you facts straight MAGA MAGGOT.

Trump Says He Secretly Invited Taliban Leaders, Afghanistan President To U.S.

President Donald Trump said he canceled the Camp David meeting after the Taliban claimed responsibility for a deadly bomb attack in Kabul earlier this week.

Another of your frantic tirades. You seem to have attempted and failed to address the number of “gotaways”.

As a part of your silly tirade you failed to address the illegality of the democrats ignoring immigration law by importing their millions of hoped-for voters.
