In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around immigration policy and public perception of former President Donald Trump's claims regarding border security. A CBS poll highlighted that only one-third of voters support Trump's assertions about immigrants, with nearly 65% deeming his statements false.

Critics of Trump, including members of the current administration, emphasized that he has shown a lack of interest in genuine border security, pointing to his rejection of a bipartisan border deal presented to Congress. In contrast, they praised the Biden-Harris administration for taking significant steps to enhance border security, claiming that these efforts are yielding positive results.

Furthermore, the meeting underscored a narrative that contradicts Trump's rhetoric about a crime wave linked to immigrants. Officials asserted that crime rates are lower now than during Trump's presidency, citing reports from police departments nationwide. They reiterated the belief that immigrants are integral to the fabric of the nation, contributing to its safety and strength.
