Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Program beneficiaries, not the U.S. government, must book and pay for their own travel. From January 2023 to August 2023, more than 161,000 beneficiaries entered the U.S. at Florida airports. However, it’s unclear how many people settled in Florida.) Biden isn’t flying migrants to Florida. People pay for their own flights, legally enter the US |
