In a few weeks, Donald Trump has done what his prevaricating predecessor declared to be impossible: he has brought the border under control. Those of us who watch the goings and comings of illegal border crossings are familiar that Donald Trump 45 did a stellar job of taking a border crisis and bringing it within appropriate management.
For instance, in the Yuma sector alone, Trump 45 brought encounters with illegal aliens to a previously unheard of 8600 in the last year of Trump’s first term. That was astounding, especially in light of Biden’s border crisis which often saw more encounters in a weekend than in Trump’s entire last year.
But now, under Trump 47’s policies, the number of encounters has dropped to about 8600 for the entire border—north, south, land, and sea. Miraculous, some would say. ICE’s arrests of illegals have increased over 600% compared to Biden. Migrant shelters have shut down due to a lack of use. I say it is a monumental change. Unheard of. What President Trump 47 has done is to demonstrate clearly that enforcing the law is the biggest inducement for illegal aliens to stay away or to go home.
