Why are people so obsessed with lying about immigration?
Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History

If you look at it, you'll see that, yes, a million or two million or whatever immigrants arrived during the last year biden was in office.
However, if you're not trying to use statistics to lie, what you'll also find is that millions came every year for the past fifty years, including the years trump was president.
There might be some specific "record number" but only in the sense that the total population of humans increases every year so when the same percentage does the same thing as last year, the absolute number is now larger.
And of course this all ignores the part where immigration is a huge benefit to america.
I found a graph of arrivals by year here: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/charted-u-s-net-immigration...
It certainly seems to be a big increase under Biden, compared to the last 25 years. Anyway, I personally favor immigration, I just don't want to use statistics to lie to myself either!
My point here is mostly just that america has had lots of immigrants every year for the past 75 or something and there was nothing particularly unique or notable about the recent biden years and the people who claim there is are lying in order to achieve unrelated political goals.
