Customs and Border Protection funding and staffing under Biden and Trump are comparable. Border laws and policies to prevent immigrants from remaining in the U.S. also continue under Biden.
"You can't blame that on the Biden administration, because that turnover was happening long before Biden came in," Heyman said.
Biden’s administration has requested $95 million from Congress to hire 300 additional Border Patrol agents in fiscal year 2023.Immigration policies at the border under Biden and Trump have stayed largely the same. Border authorities are still enforcing immigration laws; immigrants continue to be expelled, detained or allowed into the country if they pass officials’ initial screenings.
Heyman said there have been slight changes on how policies are applied to different groups of people, but he described these as"nuances" that affect individuals rather than major policy changes. He pointed to Title 42, a public health policy enacted under Trump to limit COVID-19’s spread. Title 42 is not an immigration policy, but it allows Border Patrol agents to expel immigrants arriving at the border without placing them in formal deportation proceedings.CBP data shows that Border Patrol agents recorded more thanwith migrants at the southwest border in fiscal year 2022, which ended in September. But that doesn’t mean that 2.2 million people entered the country.
Many of the people encountered were quickly expelled by authorities, either under immigration law or under Title 42.Although Biden has not added more miles of border barriers, his administration has provided funding to reinforce existing barriers and add specialized technology at the border.to pause barrier construction at the southwest border. But he has not ordered the dismantling of existing border barriers completed under Trump or any other administration.
