EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. southern border has seen a sharp drop in illegal immigrant encounters in the first days of the Trump administration, compared to the final few days of the Biden administration, multiple Department of Homeland Security sources tell Fox News Digital.
The number of Border Patrol encounters at the southern border in the first three days of the Trump administration is 35% lower than the final three days of the Biden administration, the sources said. The numbers do not include encounters at the northern border, or encounters at ports of entry by Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Office of Field Operations.
On Jan. 17, there were 1,288 encounters nationwide, then 1,266 on Jan. 18 and 1,354 on Jan. 19. That is 3,908 encounters in total.
President Donald Trump implemented took office on the 20th, when there were 1,073 encounters. It then declined further to 736 encounters on the 21st and again to 714 on the 22nd — making up 2,523 encounters.
Numbers fluctuate sharply at the border on a daily and weekly basis, but numbers have been relatively low since June, when President Joe Biden signed an executive order limiting asylum. That followed a historic migrant crisis from 2021 that had shattered records repeatedly.
Trump implemented additional restrictions. On taking office, he signed orders declaring a national emergency at the border, deploying the military to the border and ending the use of the CBP One app to process migrants at ports of entry via humanitarian parole.

“Se estima que anualmente hay alrededor de 3 millones de entradas ilegales en los Estados Unidos: la mayoría de los migrantes entran clandestinamente en camiones que pasan la frontera, si bien se han observado casos en que los viajes se han hecho a pie, por ferrocarril o incluso por túneles especiales.”

The UN estimated about three million a year were (and still might be) coming across, mainly in trucks.
“Water cannons. I still like water cannons.”
Israel had (probably still has) an ‘odorized’ version of their water cannons, where you smelled like Shiite if you got hit with it. It was very effective.
Good. The street price of drugs should start rising soon as supplies get constrained. Maybe our resident Zeepers will let us know when they notice those increases begin.
Why don’t they compare what it was a year ago compared to today? During the dying days of the Biden Administration, measures were implemented to decrease the numbers, especially during the last months of the presidential campaign.
Moats. Alligators.
My fave is A-10 Warthogs. A few strafing runs would send “encounters” to zero.
Or maybe “Metalhead” robot dogs.
Good! Buy American!

That stuff is such bad news. I wish people would come to their senses.
Is my suggestion of non-stop deployment of AC130s over the top?
