 Joe Biden, for his part, saw illegal crossings and counters, as authorities call them, rise in his term. And then he issued an executive order seeking to restrict these crossings at the southern border. Here's Biden from last night. What I've done since I've changed the law, what's happened? I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40 percent fewer people coming across the border illegally. That's better than when he left office.
