US President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Donald Trump traded barbs in the first debate of the 2024 election campaign.
Trump falsely claimed that under Biden,"we don't have borders anymore."
That has amounted to"increased enforcement at the border," according to Nicole Hallett, director of the University of Chicago Law School's Immigrants' Rights Clinic. A June 2023 study found a decline in incarceration rates among immigrants from all regions since 1960. "He causes inflation. I gave him a country with essentially no inflation," Trump said after reciting his favourite - but false - line about ushering in the greatest economy in US history.Both candidates misled by omitting the impact of Covid-19 on the economy.Unemployment was about 6.4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, down from its peak of 14.8% in April 2020 after the outbreak.
