Border agents record shockingly low number of illegal crossings one week into second Trump presidency

LMAO...."i will not belive the federal government under Trump" :rolleyes: well OK, been nice talking to you
for those that understand the XO's and the new policies here are some hot links to show WHY migrants are way down

hot links at site

Facts not in evidence.
 
  • An executive order has suspended the entry of undocumented migrants to the United States under any circumstances. Border Patrol agents are now summarily turning people away regardless of protection needs. The order claims that all who make it to U.S. soil “are restricted from invoking” provisions like asylum. It further restricts undocumented people who cannot prove satisfactory medical and criminal histories.
  • CBS News reported that Border Patrol agents “have been instructed to summarily deport migrants crossing into the country illegally without allowing them to request legal protection.” Two CBP sources told CBS that “migrants will not be allowed to see an immigration judge or asylum officer.” Personnel are rapidly deporting adults and families after taking their biometric data and fingerprints. Non-Mexican migrants “are to be detained pending their deportation.”
 
Illegal crossings will be treated like Trump wanted to treat COVID testing. It is amazing how the numbers will drop if you don’t keep track of them.

Am executive order doesn’t stop a thing. Like anything else, it is only on paper until it is enforced.

encounters are being counted.. but it doesnt matter all that much - see post 27

lol where do you think CBP branch of government is located? the executive
 
That speaks to ICE arrests not border crossings other than the headline.

Let me tell you straight up, there is no way in hell I'll ever believe numbers coming out of the Trump Administration. Trump is known liar and he will instruct his agencies to only produce favorable numbers. It is who he is and how he rolls......it started with the inauguration ratings and will never end until he is gone.
It certainly doesn't help that Donald has promoted exaggerating (i.e. lying) as part of "the deal" for decades. That went off the charts during his mismanagement of COVID, lying about everything from when the pandemic would go away to banning travel from China to the virus affecting "virtually nobody."

So MAGAs should exercise patience with the rest of us while we grapple with "TDS" and, you know, not take any proclamation coming from him or his administrative goons as gospel without independent verification.

who you gonna call? Ghost busters?
 
Where there is a will there is a way. Biden had no will and no way

Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

he most recent border numbers were released on the same day that U.S. Border Patrol agents exchanged gunfire with suspected cartel members near Fronton, Texas, on Monday, but neither party was hit.

Right…

And this snap shot of an actual non-result means what?

Come back to me in a year when this shakes out and we see what’s from what on it. Not just the crossing totals but the effect on our economy, etc., then we’ll talk.

If it all works out I’ll say so. I’ll give Trump a high five in it to boot. Not Elon Musk’s but… 😁

If it works out we’ve either done not much, or our economy is tanking from yanking Willy-Nilly these threads and the resulting inflation and lack of workers in certain markets caused a recession. I’ll hope you take credit for those readily seen potential consequences.
 
lol where do you think CBP branch of government is located? the executive

And you miss the point entirely. It is on paper until enforced. Enforcement doesn’t happen due to words on a paper nor do words on a paper enforce themselves. It takes actual government agents to carry this out. Trump can dish out as many EO’s as he likes but it doesn’t mean they are immediately put into action.
 
600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday
Well isn't that a bigly fail. That's 200,000 rapists and murderers per year.
 
my god man = do you want to see the actual stigmata? The title says CBP. then it references logging in the encounters.
whom else has that functions?
I won't insult you with reporting on fox who visually confirmed the trickle of migrants
But you believe what you want to believe -fine by me
Ahh.... here is the quote from the first post.:

Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday –

Now it’s “it references logging the encounters”. Do you really believe that only 600 people crossed into the US from Mexico and that ever one of them had an encounter with CBP? Those are two different things. It would be like our local police stating that they solved 1000 cases this year so there were only 1000 crimes committed.
 
Working class people celebrating their tax dollars being used for the oppression of other working-class people lol.

Luigi taught y'all nothing.
