The flow of illegal immigrants to the US has fallen to a 60-year low

In the three weeks since Trump took office, border apprehensions have decreased tenfold.

After Donald Trump returned to the White House, the number of illegal border crossings across the US has dropped by 90%. This is reported by the New York Post.

Three weeks after Donald Trump returned to the White House, the number of illegal border crossings across the US has dropped by 90%. In February, border agents apprehended an average of 359 migrants per day, the lowest rate in the past 60 years.

To strengthen control, Trump deployed 1500 troops to guard the border and made an agreement with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

According to media reports, Mexico agreed to send 10 troops to stem the flow of migrants after Washington threatened to impose a 000% tariff on Mexican goods.

In addition, Trump plans to require all asylum seekers to wait for a decision on their status in Mexico.

Since early February, the United States has also launched large-scale raids against illegal immigrants who have previously violated the law. As a result, more than 11 people have already been detained, some of whom have been deported by military aircraft.

During Joe Biden's presidency, the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States has declined sharply. In 2023, border guards detained an average of 5590 people per day, in early 2024 - 2872, and now the figure has dropped to 359.

Trump seeks not only to reduce the number of migrants, but also to completely stop illegal migration, using both diplomatic and military pressure.

Let's add that Trump, even during his first term, stated that the US does not need migrants from "dirty holes."
