US President Joe Biden has been criticised in a scathing comparison to predecessor Donald Trump, as America's migration crisis continues.
This follows the latest figures which revealed over two million people crossed the US-Mexico border in 2023.
Illegal border crossings in the US have also jumped massively since the start of the Biden administration.
According to US Customs and Border Patrol data, a total of 5,940,511 crossings have taken place, a 277 per cent increase from the same period during Trump's term, from 2017 to 2019.

Biden has previously said he "cannot stop" migrants crossing into the United States, but requires all those who wish to enter "to do so under US law".
US Customs and Border Protection said they will continue to prioritise border security "as necessary".
Discussing the state of America's migrant crisis, US radio host Dan O'Donnell claims Biden "undid everything" that Trump had put in place to tackle the issue as soon as he took office.
US Attorney Robert Patillo argues that the Republicans "have not wanted to do a damn thing" on immigration for the last 20 years.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
- Texas wants its BREXIT! - 60 per cent of Texans support independence: 'We're ready for self-government!'
- Joe Biden blames the PRESS for Trump's polling surge before awkwardly rolling back: 'I'm teasing'
- Joe Biden blasted over migrant crisis failure as Texas forced to take action: 'Deliberately letting them in!'
Speaking to GB News America, O'Donnell told host Patrick Christys: "On the first day the Biden administration got together, they actually undid pretty much everything President Trump had done to get illegal immigration down to about as close to a crawl as we've seen in the past 20 years.
"Undoing something called the Migrant Protection Protocols or the Remain in Mexico policy that would not allow asylum seekers to simply live in this country illegally while they're waiting for their rather obviously bogus asylum claims to be processed."
O'Donnell fumed: "The Biden administration has totally changed the rules on his watch. President Biden has the tools to do this. It is an absolute canard to say that he needs a bill from the Republican Congress. He undid everything Trump did with executive orders.
"He can redo them through executive orders and shut down the border almost completely. He simply refuses to do so."

Attorney Robert Patillo argued in defence of the Biden administration and the Democrats, claiming Trump's camp are more interested in "making sure Trump stays in power" over the southern border.
Patillo said: "Republicans for the last 20 plus years have not wanted to do a damn thing on immigration. And this idea that simply by executive order you can remain in Mexico, that does nothing for the dreamers who are still here in the United States, we do not have a long term solution for that.
"It does nothing about the backlog of asylum claims that have to be heard by international law. We need hundreds more additional lawyers and immigration judges to hear these asylum claims to make permanent terminations on those, that has to be funded by the Congress.
Patillo continued: "Republicans have no interest in that either, because they want to make sure Trump stays in power more than they care about defending the southern border."
