Border encounters in the US dropped to the lowest level ever in June ... stark contrast to Biden's open barn door policy.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is anticipating that border crossings are on track to continue dropping in June as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement.

Concretely, officials said that a little over 5,400 people had been apprehended between June 1 and 22. The figure compares to 9,577 arrests in May, a 43% decrease, according to Border Report.

Moreover, the number of people who managed to cross the border and avoid arrest dropped by half, clocking in at 986 so far this month. The figure was 2,123 in May.

The administration recorded some 37,500 apprehensions since February 1, a more than 90% decrease compared the almost 600,000 that took place during the same period last year under the Biden administration.

Those who entered the country after evading detention also decreased significantly, with 11,867 between February 1 and June 22, compared to more than 94,000 in the same period.

"The world is hearing our message: If you come here illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and deport you. We will not be deterred by the rioters and politicians in our mission to secure America and its border. Migrants are turning back because they know the reality is they will ultimately leave in handcuffs," said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

 
Trump is doing a lot right on the border and immigration. He's removing the stock of illegals that are in the US and the so-called "sanctuary cities" and because of the secure borders and ICE raids, all the illegals in the country are running scared like headless chicken ... they finally know that they might have made a mistake by sneaking in illegally over the border and are now hiding from the authorities like any other "good" criminal.

Trump is cutting right into the pork/flesh that the delusional leftists in the big cities created and fattened over the years. It's refreshing to see that Trump is taking action here and removes the illegals one by one.

WHat Biden policy are you referring to.
 
The economy is going to shit, human rights are no better than the countries they're escaping and so they don't want to come anymore? Job done...I suppose.

Oh and what was the "Open Border Policy" again? Can you point us to an executive order, piece of legislation or white paper?

Basically telling the whole world to come to the US either legally or illegally with nobody stopping you at the border really. That sent a bad message and created caravans and excesses at the border and in the country (crimes, illegals being housed for free in 5 star hotels with US taxpayer money etc.)

Trump's measures on the other hand are a deterrent. Nobody is coming illegally anymore because they know that ICE is lurking around the corner and have them deported.

The verdict is still out there. It was just a little bad in the beginning, but is now starting to recover.

I think many real Americans are willing to pay a little higher prices for a while, if it means the border is more secure, less illegals roaming the country, less crime, less rapes, less drug dealing and less drugs smuggled over the border.

Trump is just finding his groove right now and having "arrived in office" just yesterday with the Supreme Court giving him some breathing room with his executive orders and leftist activist judges a blow.

More "open borders" lies from the right. President Biden did not once have an "open border."

Yeah sure ... if you tell that yourself 100 times, you probably believe it.

But that doesn't make it right.

The majority of Americans saw Biden as an incompetent open-border-leftist and Kamala (who was at the border 2 times in 4 years) too.

That's why she lost to Trump and Biden would have lost by 5% or more.

You're the one repeating the "open borders" lie without a shred of evidence to back it up.

How many miles-long caravans of people were there under Biden ?

How many are there now ?

These are the facts that you ignore.

Biden incited illegal mass immigration, Trump is deterring it.

Where's your evidence that President Biden had an "open border"? Let's see it. Now. And don't even think about trying to spam right-wing hack sites.

What more do you want ?

Why can't you accept for a minute that Trump's measures work and Biden/Harris failed on illegal immigration ?

Don't be so stubborn and look at the numbers. The US will be much safer after Trump's additional 4 years.

Not being mentioned?????



The fact that a $13 billion market of Canadian shoppers along the US border has completely disappeared.


Bellingham WA. is a ghost town now that we refuse to do any cross border shopping. Washington state leads the nation in small business bankruptcies.

OOPS>

Your site said nothing whatsoever about "open borders." Quit lying or put up the evidence that proves that they were a thing.

I think that you would even say that theres no open border or problem, even if you were standing right at the border wall and there were 20.000 illegals on the opposite side waiting to get in ... :(

Delusional.

But it's not only you, it applies to many arch-leftists and Biden/Harris voters.

TB.

It doesn't matter how many times you regurgitate the "open borders" myth.

It's still a myth.

There were never any open borders under President Biden.

Post proof that I am wrong. Your OP doesn't.

Biden/Harris's open borders are not a "myth", it was a fact.

Everyone knows, that's why they were re-defeated at the election (like Hillary Clinton was before).

Then prove it. Prove that the borders were open. Cite your source, and don't point back to the OP, otherwise you're just flailing.

How often should I tell you ?

Biden did nothing to stop them from coming in, then people already in the country texted their folks back home in Latin America "let's get on the way, Biden ain't doing anything on the border, now it's the best time to come !" and masses made themselves on the way to the US border. When Biden and his incompetent aides saw that 300.000 per month came and the situation got out of control, then finally he introduced some "alibi measures" to get the out-of-control-situation "under control". But even this failed and the numbers were still much higher than now. He and Kamala were a complete trainwreck. Risking the lives of the illegals and Americans.

Do you even know what an open border is? It would help if you pulled out a dictionary and educated yourself on the matter so you don't keep embarrassing yourself with these lies.

After you do that, let's see the source that proves that President Biden had an open border. Hop to it, time's a wasting.

None of these measure constitute "opening" the borders. They still require paperwork and the necessary legal steps.

"I hate immigrants" is not a valid argument against legal immigration.
