Working As Advertised: Even Legacy Media Admits Trump's Border Crackdown Is Effective
By Ward Clark | 2:34 PM on March 02, 2025
Wonder of wonders, enforcing the law actually works. Even the legacy media is admitting that President Trump's border crackdown is having results, with attempted border crossing numbers dropping into the basement. In the latest such news, even CBS News, as legacy as legacy media gets, is reporting that illegal border crossings have dropped to the lowest level in at least 25 years.
That is, as someone once said, a big freakin' deal (paraphrased.)
The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally in President Trump's first full month in office plunged to a level not seen in at least 25 years, according to preliminary government data obtained by CBS News.
Last month, Border Patrol recorded about 8,450 apprehensions of migrants who crossed into the country unlawfully between official entry points along the U.S.-Mexico border, the statistics show.
On some days during a record spike in illegal crossings under the Biden administration, Border Patrol recorded more than 8,000 apprehensions in a single day.
February's total, which could be adjusted when the government officially publishes the statistics, would be the lowest monthly apprehensions tally recorded by Border Patrol since at least fiscal year 2000, the last period with public monthly data. The final tallies usually don't deviate much from the preliminary figures.
