Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was caught lying about illegal immigration under the Biden and Trump administrations by PolitiFact.
"But it’s wrong to say illegal immigration, which reached historic highs under Biden, is lower overall than it was during Trump’s first term." The fact-checker reported that Pelosi's office did not respond to their requests for comment, but an aide to the congresswoman tried to explain to the Washington Post that she was speaking about deportation data.
Pelosi was arguing with journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro about whether immigration was a factor in the Democrats' astounding election losses when she claimed that fewer illegal aliens were allowed into the country under President Joe Biden than during the first term for President-elect Donald Trump.
'It’s wrong to say illegal immigration, which reached historic highs under Biden, is lower overall than it was during Trump’s first term.' The former speaker tried to twist immigration into the category of a "cultural issue" when Garcia-Navarro contradicted her.
"Illegal immigration under Biden has dropped significantly in the past four months, reaching levels lower than President-elect Donald Trump’s last few months in office," it wrote.
"I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Biden than came under Donald Trump," she added.
