US-Mexico border
Migrants line up along the US-Mexico border fence to apply for asylum in the United States on December 21, 2022.
  • Immigration is one of the thorniest public policy issues and one that will define the 2024 election.
  • Biden has had to pivot on some of his border policies after running against Trump's efforts in 2020.
  • Meanwhile, Trump is seeking to run heavily on immigration this year, similar to his 2016 campaign.

Very few issues animate Americans more than immigration.

And under the presidencies of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, divisions over the issue have only sharpened further.
