Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) falsely claimed in a New York Times interview that was published on Saturday that fewer illegal aliens came into the United States under President Joe Biden than during President-elect Donald Trump’s first term in office.
Pelosi claimed in the interview that culture issues, not policy issues, were a major factor of why Democrats lost in 2024.
“I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Biden than came under Donald Trump,” the 84-year-old lawmaker said when the Times noted that Americans overwhelmingly rejected seeing millions of illegal aliens flooding their communities.
Pelosi’s claim that fewer illegal aliens have entered the U.S. under Biden than Trump is false.
Well over 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. under Biden while there were approximately 2.5 million who entered under Trump.
