Joe Biden let millions and millions of people come in here illegally.

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific assertion about the scale of illegal immigration under Biden's presidency — a contested and frequently debated statistic with verifiable data.
What we foundThe core fact — that millions of border encounters occurred under Biden — is well-supported by CBP data, but the claim that Biden 'let' millions enter illegally overstates what the data actually show, as millions were expelled, removed, or returned and the encounter metric counts the same person multiple times.
