The new US Border Patrol chief said the number of illegal migrants stopped trying to cross the besieged southern border has dropped an astonishing 90% since January 21 — a day after President Trump’s inauguration.
Michael Banks, a longtime former border agent himself, touted the plunge in illegal crossings in an interview on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” Thursday, adding that prosecutions of criminal migrants the agency has apprehended have also jumped 52%.
“US Border Patrol knows how to get the job done, we know how to secure the border. All we needed was a president that was going to empower us — a strong leader like President Trump — and a secretary like Secretary Noem that knows exactly what we need to do to secure the border,” he said.

Nice
Going on three weeks in, and Trump’s policies on the border are working. All without legislation from Congress. I guess it’s too much to ask democrats why Biden didn’t do the same thing during his four years.
How fast will they REVERSE border crossings ramp up?
If they go in reverse they will need a new metric.
Can we install one-way exit turnstiles in the beautiful border wall?
Without those illegals crossing the border, who’s gonna shoe your pretty little foot?

Illegally crossing the border is expensive - nobody wants to throw their money away.
FJB
and the trailer trash hag he rode in on, too.
You know that a comprehensive audit of every single aspect of the 2020 election is going to happen when the time comes. And when it does...hooold on!
God, more manpower to deport illegal ALIENS!
Some characters here were insisting that M777 howitzers and M1 tanks were needed at the border, and so could not be sent to Ukraine. I told them all they needed was a new President to change border policy.
And so here we are. Border policy sufficed, no tanks and howitzers needed to slaughter migrants.
Wait a minute. I was told that the greatest reduction “actually” came when Obama and later Biden were in office? I even heard once that Obama deported more people than Trump. The MSM makes stuff up on the assumption that Americans can’t remember. We were all born yesterday.
Where are all the media liars who said this could not happen because that awful bill the Uniparty was pushing didn’t pass.
Biden signed 52 EOs his first day as acting president to open the borders
Yeah, these types give Conservatives a bad name. They should keep their keyboard tough guy fantasies to themselves.
Only 90%?
I’m looking for about nine nines....

Impossible! Democrat said we needed to pass a border bill loaded down with billions of unrelated garbage to secure the border.
Yeah, I know, they were full of it.
It’s a pretty good start on the way to 99.9%.
Why not 100%?
