Immigration is playing a big role in the 2024 election and was featured in Thursday night's presidential debate on CNN. NPR looks at the facts behind the candidates' claims.
Guests at the Old Town Pour House watch a debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump on Thursday in Chicago. The debate is the first of two scheduled between the two candidates before the November election.
Without a doubt, the issue of immigration is playing a big role in the 2024 presidential campaign — and it was certainly one of the main points of contention between President Biden and former President Donald Trump in Thursday night's debate. Trump accused Biden of allowing millions of unauthorized migrants to enter the country. He also said many falsehoods about the current state of immigration.
Meanwhile, Biden attempted to explain what he would do to continue lowering the number of migrants crossing illegally, despite that number hitting an all-time high during his tenure.This is a talking point used often by Republicans when referring to Biden’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.The federal government has added more sections of the U.S. Southern border walls, and there have been more military operations at the border.
