      Not to get political but it’s because the Trump people are dismantling everything AND completely incompetent at the same time so they can’t even get the criminals out. I fear, however, this means they’ll start rounding random people up or just making up numbers.

    3. Funny how we managed to get 12 million illegals then.

      And the ‘estimate’ for Trump that you are using to try to make it look like the Biden administration actually did anything is laughable.

      Sorry, you lost – and all the whitewash in the world won’t make you look good.

    4. I am confused. Does this mean Biden admin was more effective at deportations than the Trump administration?

    5. Nice chart. I’d be interested to see a companion chart showing the number of people who entered the country, and a final chart showing the difference between entry and deportation.
