This is a flat out lie. It’s not even close. FY’18-FY’20: 709,227 deportations FY’21-FY’23: 273,768 deportations. That’s straight from ICE data. Read it here: https://www.ice.gov/doclib/eoy/iceAnnualReportFY2023.pdf

Other data disagrees:
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record or https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/11/trump-biden-immigration-border-compared/ Deportations, returns and expulsions Since Title 42 ended in May, Biden officials have deported or returned roughly 500,000 people to Mexico and other countries, exceeding Trump’s totals, which averaged roughly 500,000 annually. But Biden’s higher numbers are partly the result of a much greater volume of illegal crossings. Trump implemented the Title 42 policy at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 to rapidly expel border crossers without giving them a chance to seek U.S. protection. The Trump administration expelled the vast majority who entered the United States and border crossings remained relatively low. Biden kept the policy in place and ended up expelling five times more border-crossers than Trump did, mainly because more migrants attempted to enter the United States during the period between Biden’s inauguration and May 2023 when he ended Title 42. The Biden administration has released more than 2.3 million border crossers into the United States since 2021. The gap between the number of migrants taken into CBP custody versus the number of people who are sent back or deported has widened each of the last three years. |

Well gee if Biden's deporting people that means all that Republican "open border" talk doesn't quite add up. |

While Trump was in office one sector of “employment “ grew rapidly but doesn’t get counted in a job growth report. During the time he was president and especially during early months of Covid, started the quick rise of influencers. It grew very rapidly. But that’s not viewed as a job in a job report. What also grew is the ability for people to become a paid influencer with a much smaller audience than was possible than in the past. There are plenty of these people who will say they made more money doing social media then they ever did at their 9-5. . The problem is people discount that sector as not important or not a real job except now it is a real job with some not even actively making content able to still make money based on the content they have already created. |

paid influence are 'marketing and communications' of course they get counted, if they are on a payroll. If they are a gig, then they get paid as an independent contractor |

The rate has gone down a little, but it's still much more expensive than it was under Trump and it was escalated by Bidens policies. So you're spreading misinformation Many still feel the pinch https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/08/inflation-walmart-chipotle-criticized-over-prices.html Americans are still adding tons of consumer debt to deal with Biden's failed policies https://www.marketplace.org/2024/07/09/americans-added-more-than-11-billion-of-consumer-debt-in-may/ inflation may be "cooling" but prices are still high, too many American's are in debt and feel the pinch at the register https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2024/06/27/grocery-prices-inflation-still-too-high/74208920007/ Due to Biden's failed policies Amerians purchasing power is way down https://www.bankrate.com/banking/federal-reserve/what-is-inflation/ Food pirces still went up 1.1% https://seekingalpha.com/news/4123639-cpi-read-food-at-home-prices-rose-just-11-but-are-still-high-on-a-multi-year-comparison But year over year since Biden took office there still sky-high. So the Biden regime will try to spread misinformation and fake news, but the bottom line is year over year inflation has skyrocketed from Biden's failed policies and American's have less purchasing power and no savings. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/07/10/why-americans-cannot-afford-retirement/74303336007/ |

While June CPI inflation is at 3.0%, inflation is much higher in many basic necessities:
1. Car Insurance Inflation: 19.5% 2. Transportation Inflation: 9.4% 3. Hospital Services Inflation: 6.9% 4. Car Repair Inflation: 6.0% 5. Electricity Inflation: 5.9% 6. Homeowner Inflation: 5.4% 7. Rent Inflation: 5.1% 8. Food Away From Home Inflation: 4.1% Inflation has been at or above 3% for 39 consecutive months now. While June CPI was a move in the right direction, elevated inflation in key categories makes inflation feel much higher. We've also now had over 3 years of compounding inflation. Affordability is still getting worse |

And what is the GOP solution to ease inflation? What, in their platform, will address the problem? I can tell you with specifics what Biden is doing and trying to do. What is Trump's plan? You can continue to complain that inflation is an issue and I wouldn't disagree. It is a global issue because it is a result of COVID and the supply chain issues that followed. So what is Trump's plan? |

JFC, anecdote does not equate to a statistic, and this response is a useless anecdotal retort. I don't know what it is about conservatives that their only response to actual data trends is to say "well look at this ONE time!" It pretty much sums up this entire thread. "Data!" "Anecdote!" "But Data!" "But Anecdote!" https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/district-crime-data-glance (and yes, DC needs to continue making progress on declines to get back to where it was 10 years ago, but clearly it's ALREADY starting in the right direction) |

Utilities too https://www.statista.com/statistics/201714/growth-in-us-residential-electricity-prices-since-2000/ 11% growth year over year! Thanks to Biden's failed policies the average American is defaulting or behind on utility bills https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/nearly-half-americans-struggle-pay-their-utility-bills-5-ways-save#:~:text=A%20recent%20GOBankingRates%20survey%20revealed,six%20months%20to%20a%20year. |

Wait until they see the reports that come out in September and October. August 2023 was a .6 and September a .4; those will drop out likely leading to a large decline in yearly inflation. Since they come out right before the election I’m sure Trump will say they were manipulated or something. But a look at the stats makes it clear that a decline to the 2.2-2.5 range is in order by the October announcement. A basic analysis but they will scream that it’s fake. |

Tariffs and tax cuts, both inflationary. But watch MAGA suddenly stop talking about inflation, food prices, etc. as soon as he's in office. |
