President Trump declared that “The Invasion of our Country is OVER,” citing a 96% drop in illegal border crossings during his first month in office. He reported only 8,326 apprehensions, attributing this to aggressive border security measures, including increased interior arrests and deportations. The administration also targeted sanctuary cities and reduced federal funding for programs aiding illegal immigrants,
While Trump’s supporters celebrate the reduction in border crossings, critics question the sustainability of these results and the potential humanitarian impact of strict enforcement. The future success of these policies will shape U.S. immigration reform and national security moving forward.
