It’s almost as if when there’s accountability towards a certain action people are less prone to try attempt said action. Oh, wait. That’s absolutely true. So it should come as no shock to learn that President Donald Trump’s administration is seeing new lows when it comes to “illegal crossings along the southern border.”

According to The White House website:

  • In March, Border Patrol encountered just 7,181 illegal immigrants at the southern border.
    • Compared to the same month under Biden, that represents a 95% decrease from 2024 (137,473), a 96% decrease from 2023 (163,672), and a 97% decrease from 2022 (211,181).

 

Oh, what a difference a year makes. A 95 percent decrease! As the New York Post noted, "multiple Homeland Security sources" told the outlet that it's all because of "the Trump effect."

Border czar Tom Homan credited “President Trump’s leadership” as the reason for decline.

“The last administration had the Border Patrol releasing millions of illegal aliens into the United States, which caused more and more to come,” Homan wrote in a post on X. “Thanks to President Trump and his game changing policies, those days are over. Thank you to the patriots of the Border Patrol who are making this country safe again!”

While the number of border crossings had been cut in half towards the end of his tenure from what they were during most of former President Joe Biden’s regime, they were still averaging about 50,000 to 60,000 illegal border crossings a month. The only reason they decreased at all was that a small election was on the horizon last November.
