An immigration reporter from CBS News recently made a so-called “exciting” trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, purportedly a hotbed of illegal crossings and drug trafficking. To the surprise of absolutely no one who’s been paying attention, after four hours of searching, the reporter spotted not a single illegal immigrant. This begs the question: Where’s the thrilling headline for this shocking revelation?
Border Patrol agent Claudio Herrera offered some thoughts on the matter, attributing the drastic drop in border activity to an unexpected source—good old President Trump. While the CBS correspondent might have been hoping for a lively story complete with dramatic border clashes, what they found instead was a direct result of the Trump-era policies that the left loves to criticize. Herrera made it clear that the “consequences” from those firm policies had effectively quieted the usual chaos. Who would have thought that strong leadership could lead to, well, defined borders?
In a town where the walls seem to be doing their job, CBS cameras would’ve preferred to capture scenes of lawlessness but were instead met by the sight of a well-guarded boundary. Agent after agent, soldier after soldier, the area was buzzing with vehicles and barriers—not a migrant in sight. It was less of a hot spot and more of a quiet retreat, much like a popular vacation spot when the guests are nowhere to be found.
It gets even better. Recent statistics reveal that the number of would-be illegal border crossers has plummeted to an astonishing 8,300. This figure represents the lowest level recorded in decades. In February, the same month that marked Trump’s initial victory lap, only 8,326 people were apprehended. Under the reign of the current administration, comparisons are laughable, resulting in an influx of 300,000 illegal crossings in a single month—a number that looks even worse when juxtaposed with Trump’s success. It seems he wasn’t just blowing hot air on Truth Social; in reality, he was delivering real results.
One would think that such positive developments for national security and public safety would be cause for celebration. Instead, they come with the grim reminder of a truth that the mainstream media seems desperate to ignore: the Trump effect is real. The asylum system has been effectively reinforced, and those who dare to enter the country illegally face not only deportation but also significant legal repercussions. In short, the so-called invasion has been brought to heel, and you won’t catch anyone in leftist media acknowledging that any time soon.
