Making strides in solving the unprecedented crisis Democrats created, President Donald Trump’s border crackdown has sent illegal crossings plummeting to historic lows.
Once overwhelmed with illegal aliens, the California-Mexico border now sees just 30-40 daily arrests compared to over 1,200 last April.
Americans are witnessing firsthand how strong leadership and decisive action can reverse the border crisis that has threatened the nation’s sovereignty for years.
Under President Trump’s leadership, illegal border crossings have crashed to levels not seen in at least 25 years.
Border Patrol recorded only 8,450 illegal alien arrests in February, making it the lowest monthly total since at least fiscal year 2000.
This dramatic decline proves the effectiveness of President Trump’s immigration policies after years of Joe Biden’s open-border disaster.
The success comes from the Trump administration’s no-nonsense approach, including swift deportations without asylum hearings, additional military resources at the border, and the termination of Biden’s failed migrant processing system.
These decisive actions have transformed the southern border landscape. Once-crowded shelters and makeshift migrant camps now stand nearly empty across California.
The transformation in the San Diego sector has been remarkable. Border Patrol has reinforced vulnerable sections of the wall with concertina wire, effectively blocking popular illegal entry points.
The military’s assistance has proven invaluable in securing America’s borders against the invasion that was allowed to flourish under the previous administration.
Mexico’s cooperation has been key in this success story. The Mexican government has stationed 10,000 National Guard troops at its northern border, working alongside U.S. authorities to stop illegals before they reach American soil.
Federal prosecutors in San Diego have processed over 1,000 border-related criminal cases this fiscal year.
Unlike the previous administration, which ended pandemic-era policies that helped control migration, President Trump’s team is committed to upholding the nation’s sovereignty and the rule of law.
Border Patrol official Jeffrey Stalnaker stated, “To say there has been a dramatic change would be an understatement.”
Border authorities remain vigilant, anticipating that illegals may shift to more dangerous maritime routes as land crossings become increasingly difficult.
Some illegals are being deported further south into Mexico, reducing the number of people waiting for another chance to cross illegally.
This strategy prevents the immediate recycling of attempted crossings that plagued border towns under Biden’s catch-and-release policies.
The results speak for themselves: fewer illegal crossings, less strain on border communities, and a return to law and order at America’s southern frontier.
