Trump-era southern border sees migrant encounters plummet by over 60%
There were 7,287 migrant encounters at the southern border in the first seven days (Jan 20-26) after Trump's inauguration by both Border Patrol between ports of entry and by the Office of Field Operations (OFO) at ports of entry, with a daily average of 1,041 encounters a day.
That compares to 20,086 encounters in the seven days in the final days of the Biden administration (Jan 13-19) prior to Trump’s inauguration, averaging 2,869 encounters a day.
Of course no new legislation was needed to implement securing the border. Anyone who cried like a baby saying legislation was needed was lying to themselves the entire time.
Trump achieved the lowest illegal border crossings in 35 years when he was in office the first time…we are going back to those numbers again because he chose to secure the border under immigration laws that never changed.
Oh and 79 miles of new border fencing is going up as we speak
