Immigrants are "coming from prisons, they're coming from jails, they're coming from mental institutions and insane asylums."

False.

"Caracas, Venezuela, really dangerous place, but not anymore. Because in Venezuela, crime is down 72%"

False.

El Salvador murders are down 70% "because they're sending their murderers to the United States of America."

False.

Later in the RNC speech, Trump said, "Under my presidency, we had the most secure border."

That's Mostly False. Illegal immigration during Trump's administration was higher than it was during both of former President Barack Obama's terms.

The jobs that are created under Biden, "107% of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens."

Mostly False.

During my presidency, we had "the best economy in the history of our country, in the history of the world. ... We had no inflation, soaring incomes."

False.

One of the strongest ways to assess the economy is the unemployment rate, which fell during Trump's presidency to levels untouched in five decades. But his successor, Joe Biden, matched or exceeded those levels.

"Our current administration, groceries are up 57%, gasoline is up 60% and 70%, mortgage rates have quadrupled."

Mostly False.

"Our crime rate is going up."

Mostly False

The Biden administration is "the only administration that said we're going to raise your taxes by four times what you're paying now."

False.

Biden is proposing a tax increase of roughly 7% over the next decade, not 300%, as Trump claims.

About 83% of the proposed Biden tax increase would be borne by the top 1% of taxpayers, a level that starts at just under $1 million a year in income.

Taxpayers earning up to $60,400 would see their yearly taxes decline on average, and taxpayers earning $60,400 to $107,300 would see an annual increase of $20 on average.
