  • With so few migrants coming into the U.S., shelters that once served migrants have closed.
  • The Border Patrol has been bolstered by 750 U.S. military troops dispatched to the San Diego area.
  • In recent months, six miles of the border wall have been outfitted with concertina wire.

SAN YSIDRO, California — When the humanitarian aid workers decided to dismantle their elaborate tented setup — erected right up against the border wall — they hadn’t seen migrants for a month.
A year earlier, when historic numbers of migrants were arriving at the border, the American Friends Service Committee, a national Quaker-founded human rights organization, came to their aid. Eventually the group received enough donations to erect three canopies, where it stored food, clothing and medical supplies.
But migrant crossings have slowed to a near halt, bringing a striking change to the landscape along the southernmost stretch of California.
Shelters that once received migrants have closed, makeshift camps where migrants waited for processing are barren, and nonprofits have begun shifting their services to established immigrants in the U.S. who are facing deportation, or migrants stuck in southern Mexico.

Pretty strong opening for the changes that have happened. These were changes of course that Democrats and I'm sure many self-proclaimed tongue clicking "experts" on here said were impossible.

Days often passed before agents returned to the area, known as Whiskey 8. In the meantime, Jasso and her colleagues doled out hot instant soup, fresh fruit and backpacks through the slots in the fence.

The last time Jasso saw any migrants there was Feb. 15 — a 20-person group made up mostly of men from India and China.

Remember back when we were being gaslight and being told that the only people coming over the border were people from Mexico and of course they were just coming to do the jobs Americans won't do like picking cabbage. Then the REAL citizen media began hammering home points like the no job gains had been made by the Americans in a few years and that all the new jobs had been going to illegal immigrants. These were jobs like construction, services and hospitality, and far more. We were also told there were no national security concerns and that claiming somehow that immigrants were coming from all the way past the Pacific Ocean to enter the United States illegal was just a big ball of Trump hates all non-white people and is a racist.

Like every other bit of Democrat gaslighting, those were all lies.

This is a Trump success and the people who were losing jobs to these folks, you know, people who vote, well they are starting to get those jobs and that upward mobility back. I'm sure little changes in say REVISIONS to employment data (because just like immigration solutions most of that data was a lie) and upticks in rates as people who had previous given up looking for work now return to seeking work, will happen but the concern trolling and gaslighting won't matter there.

With this level of success, we might need a third Trump term.
 
Admit it... you'd make him an Emperor for Life if you could.

If he decided to crown himself, dissolve Congress and the Courts, you'd support him to the hilt.

It never even occurs to you that people aren't trying to go across the border for the same reason they don't want to go into North Korea. Why would they want to?

Last year, when the Biden administration, and their compliant friends in the media, claimed progress on border security could not be made because the Republicans were blocking an immigration reform bill, did you believe them? It's okay to admit it.

They had a bipartisan deal in place. It would have passed except Trump torpedoed it. Maybe it wasn't all that the far right would have wanted, but it was progress.

Now let's see what kind of plan Trump manages to pass.

Good that you can admit you were lied to, because that's progress.

Omg

You belive this shit don't you?

No one wants to come to the USA today. No one. Not tourists, not students, not professions, not migrants.

This is not in anyway a Trump success, this is Trump destroying the country.

Turn off MAGA Media. That shit rots the brain. No one needs that.
 
Physician heal thyself.

@NatMorton noted, you've taken the first step. Are you going to take step two or regress.

You've been LIED to repeatedly.

At a minimum ask yourself why many more news sources are now on your DO NOT BELIEVE list. Washington Post and Los Angeles Times are now also Fox News?

When you keep adding more and more sources you can't listen to for information that is the closing of YOUR mind.

See the quoted reply above for another example of being triggered.

What’s in the bipartisan Senate package to aid Ukraine, secure U.S. border


Abandoned by his colleagues after negotiating a border compromise, GOP senator faces backlash alone


You can keep on telling me the sky is purple, but I know better.
 
I copy and pasted headlines and then linked them. Hardly constitutes yelling.

Larger type often indicates larger volume. You can shrink the text.

RIGHT?

In the meantime, why do you find the Trump border success so triggering?

This a good thing.

Yeah when you start sending people to torture camps with zero due process, you make people afraid.

Is that a good thing?
 
Guess who ALSO isn’t coming here?


Tourists.

Billions of dollars in lost revenue from tourism is anticipated - JUST in 2025.

So much winning!

Tourism across the border is slowing too. That hurts some red states, not just California.
