Fact Or Fiction: Unraveling The Truth Behind Biden Administration's Immigration Claim
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Biden administration's recent claim that illegal immigration has decreased by a staggering 90% has left many observers dumbfounded and questioning the veracity of such a statement. Is the administration woefully inept in gathering accurate facts, deliberately misleading the public, or is this article itself cherry-picking data to further its own agenda? The answer to these questions is vital, as it speaks to the trustworthiness of both the government and the media. This article dissects the controversial pronouncement made by the Biden administration, scrutinizing the underlying facts and figures, and raising the crucial question of whether we are being fed a carefully constructed narrative by either – or both – of these sources.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed on Monday that illegal immigration has dropped 92% under the Biden administration.
"When it comes to illegal migration, you have seen it come down by more than 90%, and that’s because of the actions that this president has taken," she said.
Jean-Pierre: "When it comes to illegal migration, you have seen it come down by more than 90%.”

According to US Customs and Border Protection, over 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed the US border since Biden took office, not to mention around 1.2 million 'gotaways' (a figure which is undoubtedly far higher).
Reactions to Jean-Pierre's latest steaming pile of lies were, as one would expect:
We are suffering through the largest tidal wave of illegal immigration in human history and it’s not even close.

And as Summit News notes, Jean-Pierre also spoke about a "horrific act of gun violence" amid a manhunt for an illegal immigrant accused of murdering five of his neighbors. Jean-Pierre, of course, didn't note that the man was illegal, or that he has been deported multiple times from the United States.
Instead Jean-Pierre used the case as a way of pushing for increased gun control, stating “the President believes prayers alone are not enough. Congress must act because what makes tragedies like this one all the more heart wrenching is the fact that it is entirely within our power to take these weapons of war off our streets.” -Summit News
