Welcome to our fact-checking blog! In the world of politics, claims and statements can often be misleading or inaccurate. Today, we are focusing on scrutinizing the speeches made by former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Let’s dive into the details.
First up, former President Trump claimed that illegal border crossings were at their lowest point in history during his last week in office. However, upon closer inspection, it was revealed that this claim was false. The data he presented actually pointed to a different time period, indicating a misrepresentation of the facts. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also recently overstated job creation numbers, leading to some confusion.
Additionally, Trump asserted that undocumented immigrants are taking jobs from Black and Hispanic individuals, but this assertion was found to be incorrect. While the government does not track employment for undocumented individuals, unemployment rates for Black and Hispanic communities have actually decreased steadily over time.
Fact-checking Kamala Harris’s speech
Vice President Kamala Harris accused Trump of intending to deploy the US military against American citizens, a claim that was found to be true. During the civil unrest of 2020, Trump expressed willingness to use military force domestically, which would violate existing laws.
