I don't think my grocery bill has gone at all, but Trump has been president for less than a month. Old Joe was president for four years and they went UP by about 40%. Along with everything else. Record inflation, crime, drug deaths, illegal aliens etc. His presidency was a catastrophe for the US and world. It will take decades to undo all the harm done with his lies, corruption, weakness, and incompetence. The US is $38 trillion in debt and counting. That money was blown on endless wars, COVID lies, and other waste. There are some hard times coming even with Trump doing everything possible to salvage the situation. The corrupt establishment politicians spent all the wealth in the US to stay in power. Those chickens are beginning to come home to roost.
You have a typo of omission in your first sentence.
I thought violent crime went down during the Biden Administration?
Do you think the Covid-19 epidemic was Obama or Biden's fault?
Do you think Trump's giving a massive 2017 tax break which mostly benefited large corporations and wealthy people and substantially increased the national debt was Obama's or Biden's idea?
What "Covid lies," xxxx xxxx?
The second word rhymes with muck.

Regarding the immigration problem, here's a pertinent excerpt from Wikipedia:
2024 Bipartisan Border Bill
Following months of negotiations, on February 4, 2024, a bipartisan group of senators released a 370-page bill intended to sharply reduce incentives for migrants to attempt border crossings. The bill included a "border emergency" provision that would automatically require the border to be closed if border encounters reached an average of 5,000 per day over several days. Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans falsely claimed the bill allowed 5,000 illegal border crossings per day.[89] In reality, the bill would end the practice of "catch and release" that allows migrants entry into the country while they await immigration hearings; instead, migrants would be detained pending hearings.[89] The plan included a tighter asylum application and approval process with speedy removal of migrants who do not qualify, the hiring of thousands more border patrol and asylum officers and an increase in detention capacity. The bill also provided for thousands of work visas for migrant spouses of U.S. citizens awaiting immigrant visas, and 250,000 new visas over five years for people seeking to work in the U.S. or join family members. It aimed to provide a pathway to citizenship for "Documented Dreamers," children who accompanied their parents on a work visa and who could lose their place in line for a green card at age 21.[90]
President Biden supported the bill, while Speaker Johnson said days before its release that it would be "dead on arrival" in the Republican-controlled House. Shortly after the proposal was announced, House majority leader Steve Scalise declared it would not be brought before the House for a vote. One negotiator, independent Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, asserted the border would have been closed every day so far in 2024 if the bill had been law; Biden promised in January that he would immediately close the border if the bill was enacted. Lead Republican negotiator James Lankford of Oklahoma, among the most conservative Republican Senators, attempted to defend the bill throughout the weeks leading to the vote. Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024, publicly and privately pressured Republicans during the Senate negotiations to oppose the proposal. The National Border Patrol Council, a labor union representing some 18,000 border patrol officers, quickly endorsed the Senate bill. The union had endorsed Trump in 2020 and had been critical of Biden's policies.[91][92][93][94][95]
Senate Republicans swiftly turned against the bill upon its release, after Trump openly said he did not want Joe Biden to score a political win with the legislation.[96] On February 7, Senate Republicans blocked the proposal in a floor vote. Lankford said on the floor before the vote that a "popular commentator" had told him a month earlier, "'If you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you, because I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election.'" Two days before the vote, Trump told a radio host, "This is a very bad bill for his career."[97] Trump said at a rally days later, "We crushed crooked Joe Biden's disastrous open borders bill," while Biden said, "Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends."[98]
