Customs and Border Protection Reports Sharp Decline in Illegal Border Crossings

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise of “mass deportations” and securing the southern border, and now CBP has released numbers showing the impact...

...Between January 21 and January 31, CBP reports reveal an 85 percent decrease in apprehensions along the southwest border compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

The CBP report also details how in the 11 days following the termination of the CBP One app (just hours after Trump's inauguration), inadmissible alien encounters at the border have fallen 93 percent, as compared to the 11 days prior...

...Declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border was one of Trump’s first acts in office, along with restarting construction on the border wall, reviving the “remain in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers, halting migrant parole programs, and cancelling the CBP One mobile application for asylum appointments.

Things that took a year or two to figure out in the first Trump Administration, were activated in the first hours and weeks of this term.

Big things, like declaring an emergency to engage the resources of the Military, getting Mexico to police the border (10,000 new troops) and choke off the flow through their country, ending "catch and release" (for border jumpers), reinstituting "Remain in Mexico" (for asylum claims) and building the wall.

Yes, construction of the Border wall is already underway. Border wall contracts that were suspended when Biden took office, and funds that were frozen from FY18 have already been put back to work, and new 30 foot tall bollard wall panels are already going up with them in both California and Texas.

Results have been dramatic.

A complete mystery!

Pray that all these unwanted crimigrants are removed, as well. Only then will law and order return. It's not the final solution but it's a start.

We also need federal troops in lawless cities like Portland, Seattle, Denver, San fran, LA ........

The Coast Guard picked up a boat last night with Chinese and Mexicans. What part of stay out do they not understand?

Beginning with Jorge Busho's reign through slo joes last year, third world mongrels looked at America like some old whore who, when she says "no", actually means "yes."

Potus Trump's first term excepted, of course.

I really don’t understand the Chinese illegals. I’ve lived in China, it’s not that bad. Far, far, far better than the UK where the oldest daughter lives.

The change in attitude has brought more success than anything else. Many of worst have stopped coming. Now if we can just get the non-criminals to sign the guestbook instead of sneaking in things will get a lot better on all fronts.

“I really don’t understand the Chinese illegals.”

Maybe they are working for the Chinese govt and not “emigrating” at all.

Trump and Homan pulled this off because they wanted the border closed, the flow of drugs to stop and for children to be safe.. Biden and Harris 'failed' because they wanted the border open, drugs to flow and little children to be raped. How else can it be explained?
