Fact-checking Trump’s immigration and One Big Beautiful Bill claims

Summary
Former U.S. President Donald Trump toured a new immigration detention facility in Florida, nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz," which is set to house thousands of migrants. During the visit, he promoted his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a tax and spending plan that includes $150 billion for immigration enforcement over four years.

Trump made several controversial and inaccurate claims during the event. He said undocumented immigrants cost taxpayers $70,000 each—a figure from an anti-immigration group, which has been disputed by other economists and studies. In contrast, nonpartisan institutions like the Congressional Budget Office estimate that recent immigration increases under Biden could boost U.S. GDP by $8.9 trillion and reduce federal deficits due to increased tax revenues.

Trump also referenced a conspiracy theory that President Biden’s aides use an autopen to sign documents without his consent—an allegation with no evidence. Legal experts confirm autopen use is valid and legal.

Regarding Medicaid, Trump claimed that his bill would only cut waste, fraud, and abuse. However, the legislation includes broader structural changes, such as work requirements, limits on coverage for undocumented immigrants, and restrictions on gender-affirming care and abortion services. These changes go beyond addressing fraud.

Finally, Trump falsely stated that 21 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. under Biden. Official data shows about 10 million border encounters, including repeat attempts, with only about 3.8 million released into the U.S.

In summary, Trump’s statements during the visit were riddled with misinformation, while independent analyses suggest immigration has provided significant economic benefits.
