GOP's Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric Intensifies at Republican Convention

TL;DR Summary
At the Republican National Convention, claims about illegal immigration were scrutinized, including assertions that President Biden's policies have led to increased border chaos and fentanyl deaths. Fact checks reveal that Biden's comments on surging the border were taken out of context, and most fentanyl trafficking crimes are committed by U.S. citizens. Additionally, studies show that people in the U.S. illegally have lower crime rates than native-born citizens.
