McAleenan Says Arrests of Migrants on Border Expected to Decline by 25 Percent in JuneBy Zolan Kanno-YoungsWASHINGTON — Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary of homeland security, said on Friday that arrests of migrants at the southwestern border are expected to decline by 25 percent in June.He attributed the drop to Mexico sending security forces to crack down on undocumented immigrants crossing the border and the expansion of a Trump administration policy that forces migrants to wait in Mexico while their asylum cases are processed.Mr. McAleenan, meeting with reporters to discuss the final passage of a $4.6 billion emergency border bill, said the decrease from May, when 144,200 migrants were taken into custody — the highest monthly total in 13 years — showed the deployment of the security forces and the policy known as “Remain in Mexico†are successfully deterring migration.Read more at: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/28/us/politics/homeland-security-border-arrests.html
Trump deserves credit. He's fighting on multiple fronts to try and get the border secured and to end as many loopholes as he can. I know some will scream "it's not enough", or "why wasn't it done sooner", but I'm happy to see it being done. I think the wall will get built and it will work better than anticipated. I also believe Trump will be able to get a lot of concessions with the coming DACA negotiations (SCOTUS is going to rule on it next year). The country is with Trump on immigration and in the end he will win if for no other reason than he never quits.
