A shocking new report shows that illegal border crossings tend to plummet when a country decides to actually, you know, SECURE ITS BORDERS.
As reported by the New York Post, illegal border crossings into the U.S. have bottomed out since President Donald Trump's inauguration, with the potential of numbers reaching levels not seen in decades.
So far in February, about 359 illegal migrants per day have been caught across the entire southern border — down more than 90% from February 2024, according to leaked Customs and Border Protection data.
That puts the US on track to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 25 years. If the trend continues, the number of illegal migrants coming into the US could hit a level not seen since 1968, nearly 60 years ago.
Analysts chalk up the drastic drop in illegal immigration to President Trump's crackdown at the border, along with the government making the revolutionary decision to try to stop people from just waltzing right into the country.
The Trump administration has nearly sealed off the border with Mexico, ending the Biden administration's 'catch and release' policy, deploying thousands of additional troops to the border and commencing a mass deportation effort across the nation.
'Already in the last few weeks a message is being sent out that the border isn't going to be trampled over anymore, that national security isn't a joke to us,' a Border Patrol source told The Post of the changes.
