ICYMI: Illegal Border Crossings Hit New Record Low in March

Illegal crossings along the southern border reached another new low last month as President Donald J. Trump makes good on his promise to stop the invasion and secure the homeland.

It’s called the “Trump Effect.”

• In March, Border Patrol encountered just 7,181 illegal immigrants at the southern border.
  • Compared to the same month under Biden, that represents a 95% decrease from 2024 (137,473), a 96% decrease from 2023 (163,672), and a 97% decrease from 2022 (211,181).
• The Los Angeles Times reports “migrant crossings have slowed to a near halt” along the California-Mexico border, where Border Patrol agents are making just “30 to 40 arrests per day … down from more than 1,200 per day during the height of migrant arrivals to the region in April.”
