New information released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveals border apprehensions dropped in February to the lowest point in more than five years. Total apprehensions declined for the second straight month. These numbers cover the first full month since President Donald Trump was sworn in on January 20. cbp-southwest-border-total-apps-graph-20170308
A total of 23,589 illegal immigrants were apprehended in February by Border Patrol agents between the ports of entry, according to information obtained by Breitbart Texas. The numbers represent a decline of 18,915 from January and 14,727 from February 2016.
The apprehension of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) dropped by nearly 60 percent to 1,922 while Family Unit Alien (FMUA) apprehensions dropped by two-thirds to 3,124.
“The drop in apprehensions shows a marked change in trends,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) John F. Kelly said in a written statement. “Since the Administration’s implementation of Executive Orders to enforce immigration laws, apprehensions and inadmissible activity is trending toward the lowest monthly total in at least the last five years.”
Officials said the numbers are even more impressive when you realize the trend line normally increases from January to February. “Instead, this year we saw a drop from 31,578 to 18,762 persons – a 40 percent decline,” Kelly explained.
In the three months leading up to President Trump’s inauguration, CBP officials reported dramatically increasing numbers of apprehensions in all categories. Officials reported a 35 percent increase in apprehensions during the first four months of the fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. FMUA apprehensions increased more than 1oo percent, officials stated.

Weird How that works ........ , “ The Rule of Law “ , Assume ...... !
How do you say WINNING, en español?
Oh, Well! Then by ALL MEANS - put 0bama back in charge!
*SNORT*
An, ‘Era’ is 50+ DAYS?
Good Gawd!
If we threatened to kill all foreign invaders on sight, that number would go down 99% more.
Victorioso, mucho...
much winning...
It just means the left is in denial about the basics of human nature.
It took a lot of encouragement and advertising for the Obama Admin to whip up the numbers of immigrants that we were getting.
Trump got his message out a lot quicker and cheaper.
Dims Wining.
Now all we got to do is get rid of the millions in this country.
They go back and do it the legal way. Like all the rest.
I will tell you all this, the AG lobby are the ones really against this. All those big corporate farms are to blame for the start of this crap. Maybe they get rid of their help and those farms can be parceled out to become small family farms again.
How long before they use this to say we don’t need a wall?
Cute, but if you'll notice after doing that for a while, you lose control of your thumbs for life, and the expression on your face is frozen for weeks. Strangely enough a mustache appears where there was none, and you can't remember what you did with your soccer ball.
You wife generally likes it, because you become incapable of answering with a nod of your head back and forth. Only nods of approval are easily accomplished.
Dear, can I spend $3,000 dollars on a new wardrobe?
Can I get an electric dog washer?
Can I go sign the lease on that new van?
Can my mom come live with us for the rest of her life and boss you around every day?
Thank you honey. You're the best...
When the number goes to zero AFTER the wall is built “they” will say this is proof that the wall wasn’t necessary.
The plan is to agitprop the wall out of existence.
...How do you say WINNING, en español?...
In these particular circumstances, Vinceramos.
Together, we will win.
“How do you say WINNING, en español?”
el Winning!
If you actively deport illegal aliens, they stop coming and most of them leave.
Works for me...
“:^)
Seasonal farm migrants will be the realistic solution.
