"Data Show Trump Would’ve Released as Many Border Crossers as Biden" from the right-wing Cato Institute
> As I previously demonstrated, President Biden removed a higher percentage of border crossers in his first two years than Trump did during his last two years (51 percent versus 47 percent), despite Trump having to deal with many fewer total crossings (Table 1). Congress right now is in a bipartisan state of denial about these three central facts:
> 1) The reason people are being released is because of operational capacity to detain and deport them, not policy.
> 2) Biden has deported vastly greater numbers and a higher share of crossers, but it has not deterred people from crossing.
> 3) The logistics are such that once arrivals exceed the deportation machine’s capacity, people will find out and even more will come.
Feel free to click through for data!

ICE and Trump seem to be enough deterrent now, considering how the land encounters have reduced.

This explains the huge ice funding increase.
