Cato Institute Challenges President Trump's Immigration Data Claims

Cato Institute Challenges President Trump's Immigration Data Claims

The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, is disputing President Trump's claim that its immigration research supports his administration's handling of the southern border as the best in U.S. history. President Trump posted a graph on his Truth Social platform showing a 99.9% decline in legal entries of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border since he took office. Cato's director of immigration studies, David Bier, clarified that the chart only reflects legal entries and does not address illegal immigration. Bier emphasized that legal entries were a solution to illegal immigration, not a disaster, and criticized the administration's broad cuts to legal immigration.
