Biden’s last year and Trump’s first year – undocumented immigration

[Mick]

Here’s a table for undocumented aliens comparing Biden’s last year (2024) to Trump’s first year (2025):

 

My question	2024 (range)	2025 (range)
(a) How many undocumented aliens (UAs) entered the United States?	~1.8M–3.0M	~0.5M–1.2M
(b) How many UAs on final deportation orders in December 2024 / December 2025?	~1.44M–1.47M	~1.50M–1.55M
(c) How many UAs“self-deported” in each calendar year?	~0.4M–0.9M	~1.2M–2.2M (highly disputed)
(d) Total UA apprehensions in 2024 and 2025	~1.5M–1.6M	~0.23M–0.30M
(e) UAs urned away by Border Patrol (best proxy: “inadmissibles/returns” at ports + immediate returns)	~1.8M–2.6M	~0.2M–0.8M
(f) ICE arrests in 2024 and 2025	~110k–150k	~250k–400k
(g) UAs removed from U.S. territory to home countries/alternatives (best proxy: DHS removals + returns / “repatriations”)	~0.68M–0.72M	~0.50M–0.85M

Either ChatGPT is lying (the editorial comment in line three seems highly suspicious), or the media they are copying is lying, or people should have complained a lot more about Biden and a lot less about Trump.

It’s worse than you think.
