Part 8/11:
A hot topic within the conversation is illegal immigration and border security. Critics accuse Maher of intellectual laziness for dismissing or minimizing the record-high apprehensions and deportations under former President Trump, contrasting it with the current administration’s policies. Data shows that apprehensions at the southern border more than doubled during Trump's tenure, with ICE arrests increasing significantly. Yet, Maher claims that immigration enforcement has been lax under Biden, suggesting that current policies are more lenient.
