The border crisis was an undeniable disaster under Joe Biden—a catastrophic failure that put American safety on the line while leaving law-abiding citizens to bear the cost. But now, with Donald Trump back in the driver’s seat, the tide has turned in ways many said were impossible. Illegal border crossings have collapsed to historic lows not seen in decades. The total number of apprehensions along the southwest border plummeted from the Biden-era chaos, from millions down to just 109,000 in a single year. This isn’t just a small improvement. It’s a national security victory.
Under Biden, the border was a revolving door. Cartels ran wild, migrants poured across daily in massive caravans, and border agents were hamstrung by Biden’s soft-on-illegal-immigration policies. Tens of thousands crossed every day, overwhelmed agents, and crashed the system. Now? The daily encounters have fallen by more than 90 percent. Enforcement is laser-focused. Illegal aliens are no longer being released by the thousands. Instead, the border is locked down tighter than ever before, with new hires flooding the agencies tasked with protecting America’s sovereignty. Wall construction has finally resumed at record pace, with billions approved and obstacles ripped away to speed up critical barriers that Biden and Democrats once tried to kill.

This dramatic turnaround is not just about numbers. It’s a symbol of American strength restored. Under Trump’s leadership, border patrol agents and customs officials have been empowered to do their jobs. Drug seizures are up, cartel operations are being dismantled, and trade fraud is being targeted aggressively. That’s the kind of law-and-order approach that put America first and said loud and clear: the rule of law matters. The days of federal agencies bending over backwards to accommodate every influx of illegals are over.
Of course, none of this progress came without a fight. The left-wing media and the swamp establishment spent years championing open borders and demonizing anyone who demanded security. They painted walls as racist and called border agents “Nazis.” But now that results are undeniable, the question becomes clear: how long will they keep opposing what they once denied was possible? Their agenda isn’t about solutions—it’s about breaking a country that refuses to bend to globalist interests. Open borders flood the system with cheap labor, depress wages, and strain our communities. But Trump’s America is saying no more.
If enforcing American laws and protecting citizens is radical, then count me in. The border is no longer a sieve; it’s a fortress. And that’s exactly how it should be. The 109,000 illegal crossings aren’t just a number—they’re the embodiment of what real leadership looks like when elected officials put their country’s interests above political correctness and foreign agendas. The question remains: with the border finally secure, what’s the left’s next excuse to undermine American sovereignty? Or will they finally admit that America deserves a president who defends it?
