Feels good, right?
According to a New York Post report, illegal border crossings plummeted in March by 94% from the 137,000 people who poured across the border in March last year. It follows February crossings of roughly 8,300 illegal migrants — the lowest in at least 25 years.
It’s all due to the ‘Trump Effect,” sources told The Post. Migrants are “scared there are consequences now,” said one DHS source, adding “everyone who is caught is charged and does time.”
“Illegal entries into the United States are no longer a backdoor way to getting status,” said another source.
From The New York Post:
Most of the roughly 7,000 crossings took place in the San Diego and El Paso border sectors, sources said.
If the border crossings continue to stay at these levels, the US could see the number of illegal migrants hit a low not seen since 1968.
Upon entering office, Trump declared an emergency at the border, sent thousands of additional troops to the region, shut off the asylum system to illegal crossers and commenced a mass deportation effort across the US.
Fox News’ Bret Baier called the numbers “a stunner.”
“It’s a stunner, it really is. For all of the talk of Biden saying, ‘I’ve done all I can do’ … What we’ve seen in just a few weeks is the numbers have changed significantly by the executive actions of the Trump administration.
