Record-Breaking Border Security Under Trump
Drop in Illegal Border Crossings, President Donald J. Trump’s strong border enforcement policies have achieved what no administration has done in decades. In June, U.S. Border Patrol recorded only 6,070 illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border — the lowest monthly number in recorded history. This reflects a 15% decrease from the last record set in March.
A Clear Contrast With Biden-Era Chaos
During President Biden’s term, illegal crossings surged dramatically. At one point, over 10,000 migrants crossed daily, most without proper vetting or detention. Many were released with little to no oversight, creating a nationwide crisis. In contrast, Trump’s policies have restored law and order along the border.
Illegal Immigrant Releases Plummet to Zero
For the second consecutive month, zero illegal immigrants were released into the interior of the country. This shows a dramatic shift in enforcement. Trump’s approach ensures that all who cross illegally face detention and swift deportation, deterring further unlawful entry.
June 28 Marks Lowest Daily Crossings Ever
On June 28, Border Patrol set another milestone: only 137 illegal immigrant encounters occurred that day — a single-day record low. This achievement illustrates how consistent and tough policies directly reduce border violations.
Massive Decline in ‘Gotaways’
Another significant indicator of progress is the 90% reduction in “gotaways” — migrants who evade capture and enter undetected. Compared to June last year, this dramatic drop shows Trump’s enhanced surveillance and patrol presence is working.
Lowest Fiscal Year Crossings in 50 Years
This fiscal year is on track to see the fewest illegal immigrant encounters in five decades. Such results speak volumes about the impact of building the wall, increasing border patrol agents, and enforcing strict deportation rules.
Congress Must Act: One Big Beautiful Bill
The path forward is clear. Congress has the opportunity to solidify this success by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill. The legislation includes:
-
Funding to complete the border wall
-
Hiring of thousands of border agents
-
Expansion of detention centers
-
Resources to carry out over one million deportations annually
The stakes are high. This bill ensures the nation continues to benefit from the strongest border security in generations.
