Cette vidéo montre des agriculteurs se rassemblant au Texas, à la frontière avec le Mexique, pour défendre les frontières contre les agents de Joe Biden.
Publisher’s rating: La vidéo montre une manifestation d'agriculteurs en Allemagne à la mi-janvier 2024. Ces images n'ont aucun lien avec les tensions sur l'immigration à la frontière texane.
The video does not show Texas farmers: dpa identifies it as footage of a farmers’ protest in Forchtenberg, Germany, on January 14, 2024. The review says a few hundred Americans did gather at the Texas border in early February, but there is no indication that farmers joined them.
Cette vidéo montre des chars à la frontière entre le Texas et le Mexique.
Publisher’s rating: Non, la vidéo a été tournée au Chili, et circule en ligne depuis novembre 2023 au moins. Elle n'a donc rien à voir avec la situation actuelle à la frontière entre le Texas et le Mexique.
The review identifies the footage as filmed in Chile, not at the Texas–Mexico border. It says the video had circulated online since at least November 2023 and that the earliest version the agency found was posted on TikTok on November 6, 2023.
Video toont boeren die zich verzamelen in Texas nabij de grens met Mexico.
Publisher’s rating: De video toont een Duits boerenprotest in Forchtenberg op 14 januari 2024. Het heeft geen enkele link met Texas en de huidige politieke spanningen daar.
The video shows a farmers’ protest in Forchtenberg, Germany, on 14 January 2024, not a gathering in Texas. The article says visual matches to local coverage and the location identified in the video place it in Forchtenberg.
Claim by Elon Musk: The long-term goal of the so-called “Border Security” bill is to enable illegal immigrants to vote.
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says the $118 billion bipartisan border security bill focuses on border security and foreign military aid, with no provision to enable illegal immigrants to vote. It also notes that only U.S. citizens may vote in federal elections and concludes that the claim lacks evidence and contradicts the bill’s provisions and federal voting laws.
Cette vidéo montre des milliers de camionneurs américains se diriger vers le Texas pour mettre fin à l’invasion de la frontière orchestrée par Joe Biden.
Publisher’s rating: La vidéo montre un convoi de camions en 2022. Celui-ci s'est rendu à Washington pour protester contre les mesures sanitaires liées à la pandémie de Covid-19. Actuellement, un autre convoi se déplace vers l'ouest des Etats-Unis - mais pas spécifiquement vers le Texas. Il s'agit de deux évènements distincts.
The video shows the People’s Convoy, a 2022 truck convoy that traveled to Washington to protest COVID-19 restrictions. A separate convoy, launched from Virginia on January 29, 2024, was organized in connection with the Texas-Mexico border; it was not the convoy in the video.
In Texas rollen die Panzer gegen illegale Migranten und Joe Biden, wie das Video zeigt.
Publisher’s rating: Die Aufnahmen stammen nicht aus Texas, sondern aus Chile. Sie zeigen Panzer, die in der Region Antofagasta die Hauptverkehrsader Chiles kreuzen: die Panamericana, die dort offiziell Ruta 5 heißt.
The video does not show tanks in Texas being used against migrants or President Joe Biden. The review identifies the footage as showing tanks crossing the Panamericana, also known as Ruta 5, in Chile’s Antofagasta region.
Video show tanks sent by Gregg Abbot to shut down Texas border
Publisher’s rating: False
Deze video laat zien hoe duizenden truckers onderweg zijn naar Texas om daar de grens te verdedigen.
Publisher’s rating: De video toont een protestkonvooi uit 2022. Die noemden zichzelf 'The People's Convoy' en reden dat voorjaar naar Washington D.C. om tegen de coronamaatregelen te protesteren. Momenteel is een ander protestkonvooi, 'Take Our Borders Back', op weg van oost naar west Amerika: niet specifiek naar Texas.

“Construí cientos de millas de muro fronterizo y ellos dirían él (Trump) no construyó cientos de millas [...] lo llaman una renovación”.

The review says Trump built 85 miles of wall in areas without existing barriers. Of the 458 miles worked on, the other 373 replaced existing barriers, making his claim misleading.

Publisher’s rating: Engañoso
“Construimos cerca de 500 millas de muro”.
Publisher’s rating: Engañoso
The review says Trump’s administration built new wall where none existed along 85 miles, not nearly 500 miles. Of the 458 miles worked on, the remaining 373 miles involved replacing existing barriers, according to a CBP construction-status document cited in the review.
“Sellaremos la frontera porque ahora mismo tenemos una invasión de millones y millones de personas llegando a nuestro país […] probablemente un número mayor que el del estado de Nueva York”.

“Biden’s let in 8 million people just in four years.”
Publisher’s rating: False
Related research reporting discusses immigration during Biden’s four years in office and gives an estimate of “10 million to 20” (the supplied excerpt cuts off before completing the figure). It does not establish the claim’s specific figure of 8 million or explain what “let in” means.
