Immediately after Trump took office in February, illegal border crossings dropped to record lows. Now in March, Trump’s second full month in office, once again border crossings are at a record low.
It’s almost like Joe Biden and the Democrats could have shut down the border all along but just didn’t want to, and we all know why.
Trump said he would do this and he is delivering.
The New York Post reports:
Illegal border crossings hit stunning new low in March, down 94% in a year because migrants are ‘scared there are consequences now’
How low can the border crossings go?
Illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border fell yet again in March, hitting another record — with border agents barely seeing 7,000 migrants enter illegally.
That’s down 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.
And it’s all a result of “the Trump effect,” multiple Homeland Security sources told The Post Monday.
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…
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.

California-Mexico border, once overwhelmed, now nearly empty
When the humanitarian aid workers decided to dismantle their elaborate tented setup — erected right up against the border wall — they hadn’t seen migrants for a month.
A year earlier, when historic numbers of migrants were arriving at the border, the American Friends Service Committee, a national Quaker-founded human rights organization, came to their aid. Eventually the group received enough donations to erect three canopies, where it stored food, clothing and medical supplies.
But migrant crossings have slowed to a near halt, bringing a striking change to the landscape along the southernmost stretch of California.
Shelters that once received migrants have closed, makeshift camps where migrants waited for processing are barren, and nonprofits have begun shifting their services to established immigrants in the U.S. who are facing deportation, or migrants stuck in southern Mexico.
The Democrats have still not answered for what they tried to do to the country by flooding the border. They must be made to address it.
