Biden often lamented he would shut the border if given authority. Gaslighting the public on a ‘manufactured crisis’ https://apnews.com/article/border-immigration-election-2182fec11fa008ec96c4202e5656d19e a year later and in totally unrelated news Trump has border crossings down over 95%. Illegal border crossings down 90% under Trump: Border Patrol 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.
Good work if true. No one wants to live here anymore lol. I kid I kid. I’d call this a case of great marketing by the Trump admin. What’ll be interesting is to see how those numbers change over time, if the government even employs anyone to count them, and if they do how much do we trust the count.
It will be interesting to see the official numbers. Maybe I am confused, but I am trying to reconcile these two lines from the same NY Post article: 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. *** Banks did not provide the exact figures on illegal border crossings or clarify what time period he was comparing the drop to, however, figures released Thursday by the Texas Department of Public Safety show that crossings into the Lone Star state have slowed to a relative trickle.
Would be helpful to hear actual numbers from someone other than a seemingly Trump fan. But everything we’ve seen, numbers are down. So far the border is a win for Trump. It was an important key issue for many voters and a majority of all Americans. Not sure why Biden/harris didn’t do more until 2nd qtr of 2024 - too late.
I thought the best thing trump did during first term was getting Mexico to enforce their southern border. There is also no doubt that the rhetoric of, “you’re not welcome “ as a national policy will drop the folks coming. Now long term, politics wise, who knows.
Bingo. Unforced error by Biden-Harris. Enforce the laws on the books. The Dems lean into compassion for others while citizens/voters suffer. Dumb! The next Dem needs to ctrl-alt-del the playbook and reconstruct the party back to middle class prosperity.
This is a great thread to show who the truly deranged are on this site. The fact is border crossings have slowed to a trickle and the libs on here still can’t help themselves. Hilarious. I’m sure it’s completely coincidental. From cpb.gov: From Jan. 21 through Jan. 31, 2025, the number of U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions along the southwest border dropped 85% from the same period in 2024.
Are you kidding? Is this a serious post? This was a deliberate Democratic policy until the public finally had enough.
