WATCH: Biden and Trump argue over their immigration records | CNN Presidential Debate

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump exchanged barbs over each other’s response to immigration legislation at the CNN Presidential Debate Thursday evening.

After Biden raised his push for bipartisan immigration legislation, which died in Congress, Trump claimed his administration has left the U.S. "had the safest border in the history of our country.” According to PolitiFact, that statement is mostly untrue, given the fact there is no simple measure to back up that statement.

The June 27 CNN Presidential Debate was the first time Biden and former faced off this election season. It was also the first debate between a sitting and former president.
