So- it’s a new ‘low’. Under President Trump, now, border crossings have been reduced 100 percent. The stats on so-called ‘catch and release’ ...meaning illegals who are allowed into the country after they’ve been caught crossing over the border...has now dropped 99.99 percent.
The border patrol used numbers for December to make the comparison: under Biden, December of 2023, he and Mayorkas let in nearly 19-thousand illegals.
This was December of 2023- when Biden and his team insisted: if you want us to do any better than that-congress needs to pass new laws. We can’t control these borders until congress passes new laws.
Remember that infuriating BS? In December of 2023- Biden let in 190-thousand illegals. In February of this year- Trump’s team let in – 20.
And we don’t know their stories, so we don’t know why. They might have been rare, legit, asylum or hardship claims...or from countries we have standing agreements with-
But-in all of February- the Trump admin allowed 20 illegals to be released into the country after encountering them at the border. That’s it.
A 99.99 percent drop in successful illegal crossings.
And it’s all due to significant ‘messaging’ and ‘policy changes. Because nothing else is different. And congress didn’t need to act. We knew that was a lie and a dodge by Biden and his regime...and now it has been verified.
The biggest policy change was simply ending ‘catch and release’: this idea that illegals crossing over would be given a bogus court date-and then let in. released into the country.
Trump stopped that and said- illegal crossers who are caught will be immediately deported and/or shoved back into Mexico...where they will wait in Mexico for their court date.
Well-that move, alone- immediately dried up the caravans and stopped the floods of people from coming. Who wanted to be stuck in Mexico?
And who wanted to pay a cartel 10-grand to smuggle them into America when the odds of success were suddenly so low?
That’s even more impressive when you hear how many illegals border agents stopped. Saw crossing and collected.
For February...agents arrested eight-thousand-three-hundred-and-thirty-four people.
Over 83 hundred were arrested while trying to sneak across. Only twenty got to stay. All the rest- were returned to Mexico, or deported.
That’s significant because-under Biden- it was primarily foreigners from central and south America, China, and dozens of other countries who were flooding into the country. Now we are back to that historical pattern of it being ‘mostly Mexicans’ who are trying to travel back and forth.
Also-illegals trying to bring in children or their families has also hit a new low. Calls for ‘search and rescues and other emergencies have dropped way off.
And the border patrol didn’t detect a single terrorist suspect in February or march, they say.
For contrast: during the final two Biden years, border patrol records show Biden’s team caught about ten terror suspects-on average- trying to get into the country. And those are only the ones ‘they caught’. With so much other chaos along that border-and with most agents playing babysitter for the flood of regular illegals-
There’s no telling how many foreign terrorists sneaked into this country under Joe Biden.
We can only hope that their plots are discovered by our national security and homeland agencies before they are carried out. Folks -Joe Biden and his dangerous open borders might finally be gone...but the terrible legacies and lingering threats that they have created are ‘very real’ and they aren’t going away any time soon.
It'll take years- maybe generations-to unravel all of Biden and Mayorkas’ damage. I swear I still don’t know why Alejandro Mayorkas isn’t sitting in a federal prison...given his series of relentless and intentional betrayals of the American people.
But-as congressman Tom Tiffany put it on X yesterday:
Yep. In fact-
All these enforcement efforts are going so well -that conservative news outlets seem to feature ‘daily’ news about how many dangerous illegals are being removed from the country- and where.
Midday yesterday, Fox News ran an alert and reported that ice had arrested one of India’s most dangerous terrorists. One of India’s most wanted. Was found here in America. Admitted in by Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas:
What sort of vetting was Biden’s regime -possibly? -doing? -if India’s most-wanted terror suspect was allowed into our country?
You’ve got to assume that guy is on every terror watch list and Interpol most-wanted list in the western world. And Biden’s regime just let him stroll into America?
He was ‘encountered’. He showed up at some border crossing or another and was interviewed and let in. That’s what the fox report suggests.
How does that happen? If Biden’s team had been doing any ‘real’ checking?
We got that news on the same day that a Tennessee newspaper reported that- when troopers in that state stopped MS-13 thug Kilmer Abrego Garcia in late 2022 in a traffic stop- they strongly suspected he was engaging in human trafficking. There were seven other people in the car. It all looked quite suspicious.
So the troopers called the federal authorities and Biden’s ice agents wouldn’t even drive out to the scene. They just said: let him go.
We’ve heard the ‘basic’ story surrounding that traffic stop before, but this new report from the Tennessee Star details how the troopers- seemed to know-we have human smugglers here-
And just couldn’t convince the Biden regime to act. They were ordered to let the smugglers just...go on their way.
This was ‘life in America’ under Joe Biden’s useless and lawless regime. And you can’t really blame the ice agents or federal prosecutors there in Tennessee.These employees were under orders ‘not to ‘engage in ‘interior enforcement’ in that era.
Two different immigration judges officially deemed Garcia to be ‘ms-13’...and he -did-get his due process before being deported.
And you don’t have to believe me: listen to Jonathan Turley on fox news, confirming that you can’t honestly say Abrego Garcia wasn’t given ‘due process’ before he was deported. He’d been ordered ‘deported’ before.
Johnathan Turley is a constitutional lawyer and is a stickler for ‘the process’ as you might expect. And so, he comes down on the side of ‘if this is such a big deal to the left, just bring Garcia back for an afternoon and do it right’. Have a judge declare that the alleged ‘fear for his life’ because of a rival gang...is gone. That gang doesn’t even exist, anymore, in El Salvador.
One of several ‘grand farces’ related to this ‘poor Maryland father’...is that... Even if the dems would ‘secure his release’ and return him to America- he still won’t be allowed to stay.
He’s a dangerous MS-13 gang member with a rap sheet-and he’ll be put in front of a judge- and deported right back to El Salvador or some other crap-hole country.
But wow-what a difference three months can make, hey? Finally. For the first time in my lifetime, really. America can say: we have a strong and secure southern border.
And it’s ‘all Trump’. All based on Trump’s resolve, and guidance.
