President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are deporting far fewer illegal aliens even as border crossings are at an all-time high, shocking new revelations data obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
The number of criminal illegal aliens expelled from the United States has fallen 74 percent under the Biden-Harris administration, according to public figures compiled by the National Immigration Law Enforcement Center provided for the first time to DailyMail.com.
Only 134,617 convicted criminal aliens were expelled in the last three fiscal years under the Biden-Harris administration, even as a flood of migrants continues to cross the borders.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures show more than 10.3 million encounters with migrants at U.S. borders during the first three years of the Biden-Harris administration, not including the My dear More than 2 million immigrants elude border patrol agents.
The numbers pose a problem for Harris, once dubbed the ‘border czar’ after President Biden named her the 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 the numbers were worrying.
“Under President Joe Biden and his hand-picked ‘border czar’, Vice President Kamala Harris, we not only have a crisis at our borders, we also have one at home,” he said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Harris traveled to the border last Friday to visit law enforcement officials and promised to do more to enforce immigration laws despite the administration’s lackluster record on the issue.

Trump has made the issue of illegal immigration and border enforcement a central part of his campaign.
Green said that under the Trump administration, immigration enforcement increased, even as border crossings were reduced, making the country safer from criminal illegal aliens.
The report shows that under Trump, 32 percent of the total number of encounters were removed from the United States. Under Biden and Harris, only 3.5 percent of the number of people encountered at the border were expelled.
“Biden and Harris have completely turned that record around. During his tenure, encounters have reached all-time and sustained highs, while eliminations have fallen to an all-time low,” Green said.
The report shows there were more encounters at the border in 2023 alone than during the entire Trump administration.
“Biden and Harris have completely abandoned their oath to uphold the laws of this country, assuming they ever took that oath seriously to begin with,” Green concluded. ‘Meanwhile, innocent Americans continue to fall victim daily to this administration’s dereliction of duty. That’s enough.’
New data from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) obtained by DailyMail.com on Friday shows that more than 600,000 immigrants with criminal records are at large within the country, prompting Trump to condemn Biden and Harris for not enforcing immigration law.
“It was all done by Comrade Kamala Harris,” Trump said during a campaign event on Friday. “Our great border tsar, who is incompetent, who is totally incompetent.”
