President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are deporting far fewer illegal aliens even as border crossings are at an all-time high as revealed by shocking new data exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.
The number of criminal illegal aliens removed from the United States has fallen 74 percent under the Biden-Harris administration, according to public numbers compiled by the National Immigration Center for Enforcement first provided to DailyMail.com.
Only 134,617 convicted criminal aliens were removed over the last three fiscal years under the Biden-Harris administration even as a flood of migrants continue making their way across the borders.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection numbers show more than 10.3 million encounters with migrants on America’s borders during the first three years of the Biden-Harris administration, not including the estimated over 2 million migrants eluding border patrol agents.
The numbers pose a problem for Harris, once dubbed as the ‘border czar’ after President Biden appointed her as a lead figure to handle the root causes of migration and lead messaging on the border crisis.

Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) told DailyMail.com that the numbers were concerning.
‘Under President Joe Biden, and his hand-picked ‘border czar,’ Vice President Kamala Harris, we don’t just have a crisis at our borders—we have one in the interior, as well,’ he said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Harris traveled to the border last Friday to visit enforcement officials and promised to do more to enforce immigration laws despite the administration’s lackluster record on the issue.

Trump has made the topic of illegal immigration and border enforcement a central part of his campaign.
Green said that under Trump’s adminstration, immigration enforcement was up, even as border crossings were reduced, making the country more safe from criminal illegal aliens.
The report shows that under Trump, 32 percent of the aggregate number of encounters were removed from the United States. Under Biden and Harris, just 3.5 percent of the number of people encountered at the border were removed.
‘Biden and Harris have completely flipped that record on its head. On their watch, encounters have hit historic, sustained highs, while removals have dropped through the floor,’ Green said.
The report shows there were more encounters at the border in 2023 alone than the number of encounters during the entire Trump administration.
‘Biden and Harris have utterly abandoned their oath to enforce the laws of this country—assuming they ever took that oath seriously to begin with,’ Green concluded. ‘Meanwhile, innocent Americans continue to be victimized daily by this administration’s dereliction of duty. Enough is enough.’
New U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) data obtained by DailyMail.com Friday shows over 600,000 migrants with criminal histories are loose within the country, prompting Trump to condemn Biden and Harris for their failure to enforce immigration law.
‘It was all done by Comrade Kamala Harris,’ Trump said during a campaign event on Friday. ‘Our great border czar, who’s incompetent, who’s totally incompetent.’
