Re: “Illegal immigrant crossings nationwide are down almost 80%. At the Arizona-Mexico border, illegal crossings are down by 94%.”

I would very much like to see the links for those two claims - none provided in the article.

In FY 2019, we had the highest number of apprehensions on the southwest border in the last 15 years - close to 900,000.

Any year that follows 2019 is going to look like a big improvement.

In the first three months of FY 2020, apprehensions on the southwest border dropped from 150,000 to 100,000.

That's great - except for one problem...

In the first three months of FY 2015, Obama’s numbers were 20% BELOW Trump's numbers in FY 2020!

Obama changed way immigration numbers were arrived at...no way to fairly compare to his manipulated numbers.

Of course they were. Who would risk their life trying to get to the US to live under Obama's economy? The country under Trump is the envy of their world.
