The numbers of illegal immigrants entering the country have significantly increased under this administration compared to the previous one, with approximately 10.4 million entering under Biden-Harris, versus 2.34 million under Trump. The administration has rolled back several immigration policies implemented by the previous administration, such as the "Remain in Mexico" program, the border wall construction, and the fast-track deportation procedure.
