“H.R. 1, the For the People Act, "BANS VOTER ID; PREVENTS REMOVAL OF INELLIGIBLE VOTERS FROM REGISTRATION ROLLS; ALLOWS FELONS AND MINORS TO VOTE.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Distorts the Facts

FactCheck.org says: Claims mischaracterizing a federal voting rights bill are circulating online. The proposed law would not "ban" state voter ID laws, bar states from removing ineligible voters from their rolls, or allow minors to vote.

“President Joe Biden reversed the Trump administration's immigration policies, resulting in a “460% spike in illegal apprehensions, over 100,000 people in custody.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Cherry Picks

“The border surge is “challenging” because the immigration system that had been in place for decades “was dismantled in its entirety by the Trump administration.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: Trump’s administration did make significant changes to the U.S. immigration system, but those changes are not wholly responsible for a surge in migration or the Biden administration's ability to deal with it.

“We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again. I got that done when I was a senator. It passed. It was the law for the longest time. And it brought down these mass killings.”

Washington Post rated this: Evidence gets stronger

Washington Post says: For years, the 1994 law was seen as largely ineffective. But new research bolsters the argument that the ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines had an impact on mass shootings.
