sold presidential pardons at $2m apiece, ordered the theft of medical supplies from hospitals during a pandemic

On the other hand.

Biden border policy more stricter than Trump, according to Cato

During the Trump administration, DHS made 1.4 million arrests—what it calls “encounters”—in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 (24 months). Of those people arrested, only 47 percent were removed as of December 31, 2021, which includes people arrested by Trump and removed by Biden, and 52 percent were released into the United States.

Under Biden, DHS made over 5 million arrests in its first 26.3 months, and it removed nearly 2.6 million—51 percent—while releasing only 49 percent. In other words, the Trump DHS removed a minority of those arrested while the Biden DHS removed a majority. Biden managed to increase the removal share while also increasing the total removals by a factor of 3.5.

And when it comes to natural gas policy,

The United States is set to produce a global record of 13.3 million barrels per day of crude and condensate during the fourth quarter of this year, according to a report published Tuesday by S&P Global Commodity Insights.

Last month, weekly US oil production hit 13.2 million barrels per day, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That’s just above the Donald Trump-era record of 13.1 million set in early 2020 just before the Covid-19 crisis sent output and prices crashing.

You delivered facts as asked. So now let's play a game! Will they move the goalposts, say these facts don't count, or disappear never to respond again! Place your bets now!

The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1977 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch,[5] chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Koch Industries.🤔

Yes, I do see the irony of it... after all, they're only pro-immigration, merely when it comes to capital's movement of labor

That being said, I'd rather ye dispute the data...

Decided to still look into it even though theres been more arrests, more migrants have been released. And in during Trumps last year the returns were at there highest
