Despite the fact that Joe Biden has traveled with a more friendly and humane discourse with migrants, the numbers say something else.
It should be remembered that the current president of the United States presented himself as a welcome option for a change to what Donald Trump represented.
After the businessman and tycoon disparaged migrants and minorities on many occasions, the leader of the Democrats emerged as a transformation in the last presidential elections.
Now, a little over a year into his administration, things have changed.
Despite the fact that he has been against the border wall and reversed the order known as Title 42, which blocked the passage of migrants to the United States, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the figures maintain that he has deported more Mexicans than Donald Trump himself.
According to the Migration Policy Unit of the Ministry of the Interior (Segob), in 2020, the last year of the tycoon’s administration, a total of 184,402 people were returned to the tricolor nation, while in 2021 (Biden’s first year) 225 thousand 995 individuals were returned.
In other words, in Biden’s first year, 41,593 more Mexican women and men were deported.
But there are more figures. In 2017, the first year in power of Trump, there was a return of 167 thousand 64 Mexicans; that is, 58 thousand 931 less than the first 365 days of the leader of the Democrats in the White House.
Thats not all. The number of deported Mexican minors increased 88 percent, from 12,550 in 2020 to 23,609 in 2021.
The number of Mexican women repatriated from one administration to another also grew. It went from 17 thousand 165 deported women, in 2020, with Trump to 25 thousand 992 with Joe Biden, in 2021. It is an increase of 8 thousand 827 girls, which represents an increase of 51.4 percent.
The trend does not stop. In the first two months of this year, 41,237 Mexicans have been returned to their country of origin, almost 20 percent of last year’s total. If it continues like this, it could reach 250,000 in the second year of Joe Biden in power.
