President Trump’s return has brought a dramatic reversal at America’s southern border, with illegal crossings plummeting to historic lows—proof that strong leadership and common-sense enforcement can end the chaos unleashed by years of extreme leftist governance.
At a Glance
- Border apprehensions plunged by over 90% within Trump’s first 100 days back in office.
- Trump declared a national emergency and deployed the U.S. military to the border, restoring order and security.
- Executive Orders halted the previous administration’s lax policies, resumed border wall construction, and implemented extreme vetting.
- Trump’s actions reversed policies that protected and incentivized illegal immigration, sparking legal challenges from open-borders activists.
Illegal Crossings Plummet Amid Trump’s Border Crackdown
Customs and Border Protection reported just 7,181 southwest border apprehensions in March 2025—a staggering 95% decrease from the same month last year. The numbers don’t lie: when you finally enforce the law and send the military to the border, you get results. Trump wasted no time, signing a national emergency proclamation on Inauguration Day and immediately dispatching over 10,000 service members to the southern border. The White House called it an “invasion,” and for good reason—after years of open-borders lunacy, Americans were fed up with the flood of illegal crossings, drugs, and crime pouring into their communities.
Compare that with the Biden years, when border chaos was the norm, taxpayer dollars were funneled to handouts for illegals, and bureaucratic hand-wringing replaced common-sense enforcement. Now, under Trump’s watch, the border is more secure than it’s been in years, with access “more restricted than ever.” The results speak for themselves: order is being restored, and Americans are getting their country back.
Restoring the Rule of Law: Military Deployed, Wall Construction Resumes
Trump’s orders didn’t stop at troop deployments. Executive Order 14167 assigned the U.S. military a formal border enforcement role, and $376 million was allocated to military operations along the southern border by March 2025. The Department of Defense now has jurisdiction over new National Defense Areas, expanding surveillance and building out infrastructure. Border wall construction has been resumed and expanded, reversing the deliberate neglect and sabotage of the last administration. These are the actions of a president who understands that a nation without borders isn’t a nation at all.
Meanwhile, refugees and asylees who were previously welcomed with open arms and given a blank check to stay are now facing a comprehensive review. Green card processing for these groups has been suspended under national security orders, and a tiered travel ban is on the table targeting over 40 countries. This is precisely the kind of tough, unapologetic stance that puts American citizens—finally—first. Of course, the open-borders lobby is howling, but the silent majority has had enough of subsidizing lawbreakers while their own communities struggle with inflation and crime.
Extreme Vetting, Ideological Screening, and Legal Fights Ahead
Trump’s approach isn’t just about bricks and barbed wire. Executive Order 14161 restored “extreme vetting,” requiring agencies to flag high-risk countries for entry restrictions and scrutinize applicants’ social media for ideological threats. The intent is clear: keep out those who hate our values and protect Americans from foreign threats. Critics are already crying foul, calling it discriminatory and unconstitutional, but after years of watching the Constitution get trampled by woke ideologues and bureaucrats, the restoration of sanity is a breath of fresh air.
Legal challenges are inevitable—open-borders groups and some federal courts are already trying to block parts of Trump’s agenda. But for frustrated Americans who have watched their tax dollars wasted, their safety threatened, and their voices ignored, the return to law and order at the border is a long-overdue correction. Trump’s actions have shown that government can work for the people again—if only there’s the will to get it done.
