Trump effect sees historic drop in illegal border crossings, lowest numbers ever recorded

(TNND) — It’s being called the Trump Effect, arrests of migrants who illegally cross borders into the United States fell to just over 6,000 in June.

According to the numbers from Border Czar Tom Homan, the number is a 41 percent decrease from June and the lowest numbers ever.

Homan posted this to X, “THE TRUMP EFFECT - Total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 was 6,070. That is less than a single day under Biden. As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days. Also, none of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO.”

The number of arrests by Border Patrol agents is also down by more than 93 percent from the 87,606 detained in June 2024.

“President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it. We have never seen numbers this low. Never. God bless the men and women of the US Border Patrol and God bless the men and women of ICE. The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration. The TRUMP EFFECT keeps America winning.”

In June, agents encountered an average of just over 202 migrants per day, compared to May 2022 under Biden when the number was 7,503 per day.

Progress in the right direction!

There's decades of immigration law enforcement neglect from which to recover.

Another part of the Trump Effect is self deportation of over a million. Self deportation is how the majority of illegal aliens will exit.

And it’s in their interest because it opens the door to their trying to enter the country legally. Of course if they show up with few if any skills the nation needs they may well be denied legal residence. I don’t know that the nation desperately needs bicycle ice cream vendors.

Absolutely. Best not to say out loud, however, that when the libs wail about the “atmosphere of fear” that, yes, that is precisely the point: We want to make them afraid so they self-deport. Me, I think we should raise the self-deportation bounty to $5k. We’ll still save money over individual deportations, and it would make self deportation more attractive

6000 a month becomes 1500 invaders per week. And this is the lowest ever recorded.

No other country in the world gets that many parasites, week in and week out, continuing non-stop, wave after wave.

That number should be ZERO!

It is way past time that the USA put up Gatling guns to defend the homeland. Enough is enough. No more rat voters.

If able-bodied American men with no young children stop getting welfare type benefits, we will have plenty of unskilled labor. If Trump puts in a requirement that legal immigrants must be able to speak English, many people self deporting will be ineligible to return. Maybe they will make their own countries great again.

Zero were actually allowed into our country. Whereas the Biden administration use billions of dollars to process people through the border and into our country as fast as possible, the Trump administration is processing them at the border, finding them not eligible for a asylum and denying entry. The word will get around back in their own countries.

I'd like to see the net number of illegals = number coming in - number deported - number self deporting per month or quarter.

The key is to make it so difficult for illegals to access services or find a livelihood (as well as living in constant fear of arrest and deportation) that they'll do most of the work for us by self-deporting.

I like the idea of a new census. Illegals should NOT be counted.

Agreed.

“Also, none of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO.”

It sounds to me like Maryland has opened up an Ober Human Trafficking across the U.S.A. service. Picking illegals up in Mehico and dragging them up to Maryland, the Home Of the Human Traffickers of the Year.

The true human traffickers out there are not seeking publicity.

With an aging population, the US desperately needs people who are kind to the elderly when they change the bedpan.

Since the bulk of illegal immigrants in the US tend to come from countries with the highest rates of murder and street gang activity in the world, I doubt that they're a good choice of people to be "kind to the elderly."

Doesn’t matter. We’ve got upwards of 60 million of them here and Jorge W. Trump is going all amnesty on us:

“We want to have them come in, we want to have them help our farmers,” Trump said. “We’re going to do something. We’re working with Kristi [Noem]. We’re gonna do something that, we’re gonna sort of put the farmers in charge. If a farmer’s been with one of these people that work so hard, they bend over all day, we don’t have many people that can do that.”
