It turns out that it is possible to protect the U.S. southern border from invasion.
Trump has been president for one week, and the number of people attempting to cross the border is way down. What a difference it makes when the person in charge allows the members of the Border Patrol to do their jobs instead of acting like the Welcome Wagon.
The Biden administration could have done this, they just didn’t want to. Isn’t that already completely clear?
FOX News reports:
Border agents record shockingly-low number of illegal crossings, one week into second Trump presidency
Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.
Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.
For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.
The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply.
A total of 2,523 border encounters were logged in the first three days of the Trump administration, with daily tallies of 1,073, 736, and 714 from January 20 to January 22, respectively.
Bill Melugin has been covering the Border Crisis for years now. He comments on Twitter/X:
NEW: Per sources, Border Patrol recorded just 582 illegal crossings at the southern border yesterday, with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200.
I’ve never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage. The numbers were already flat/low in Biden’s final week, bouncing between 1,200-1,400 illegal crossings daily, but the numbers have been falling off a cliff since Trump took office.

Is anyone else in the media going to try to connect the dots here? Is anyone going to go back and ask people from the Biden administration why they were unwilling or unable to do this?
