Trump vs. Biden: Who Got More Done on Immigration?
Donald Trump is no policy thinker. He doesn’t write white papers or, presumably, read them. But there is perhaps no issue that Trump is more clear-eyed about than immigration.
What’s his goal? Less of it—less illegal immigration, and less legal immigration, too.
As president, Trump overpromised and underdelivered. For example, there’s no wall, and not just because Mexico refused to pay for it. But he still concretely shifted immigration policy, making America less welcoming by design, which his base understood and appreciated.
