Their rating
Donald Trump, Former U.S. president

“During her term, it’s not even believable, she let in 13,099 convicted murderers," referring to Vice President Kamala Harris and people entering the country illegally.”

FactCheck.org rated this: False

FactCheck.org says: The “vast majority” of the 13,099 entered the U.S. and had their custody status determined before the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security. They also gained entry legally and illegally.

JD Vance, Republican vice presidential nominee

“Thanks to her [Vice President Kamala Harris'] open border, murders are up 81% in Springfield, Ohio.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Distorts the Facts

FactCheck.org says: There were nine murders in 2023. That’s an 80% increase from 2021 — but one fewer than the 10 murders in 2020, when Trump was president. There's no evidence that immigrants are responsible for committing murders.

Donald Trump, Former President

“Under [Vice President] Kamala [Harris], we have fallen into manufacturing recession with 13,000 manufacturing jobs lost in the United States since just the start of this year.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Spins the Facts

FactCheck.org says: In Biden’s first two years in office, there was a gain of 754,000 manufacturing jobs. But as was the case under Trump, manufacturing job growth stalled in Biden’s third year in office.

Donald Trump, Former U.S. president

“Vice President Kamala Harris supports “mass amnesty and citizenship” for “all illegals … even criminals.”

FactCheck.org rated this: False

FactCheck.org says: None of the proposals she has supported would permit “mass amnesty and citizenship” for “all illegals … even criminals.” Those with a felony or three or more misdemeanors would be ineligible for a path to citizenship.
