A LOOK AT TRUMP’S MISLEADING, INACCURATE GRAPH OF U.S. IMMIGRATION

The former president keeps sharing a graph that misrepresents immigration — and
the politics undergirding it.

We may never know why it occurred to Donald Trump or someone with access to his
Truth Social account to post a graph about immigration at 2:20 a.m. Fox News was
re-airing Sean Hannity’s show during which Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
discussed the subject; it’s more than possible that the former president was
tuning in.
