Under Joe Biden’s open borders policy, which, effectively invited millions and millions of illegal aliens to come and break into the United States, then obtain health care and other benefits, they came.
Millions and millions.
But President Donald Trump campaigned on his plan to shut the border and deport illegal aliens, especially criminal illegal aliens.
And his plan is working.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, a key data point has come out of the Darien Gap, an expanse of rainforest with steep ravines and swamps through which 31,000 migrants, en route to America, came during June of 2024.
During June of 2025, under Trump’s border security plan, that number was 10.
The report explained more than 520,000 migrants crossed through that remote section heading to America in 2023. In 2024 it was 300,000.
Last year, 55 migrants died during their crossings, and about 180 children were abandoned, and rescued.
The publication cited reports from the Spanish language report efe.com.
That report said normalcy slowly is returning to Bajo Chiquito, the town where migrants arrive after their crossings.
“Bajo Chiquito has transitioned from a bustling hub to a quiet community. With a population of around 400, this indigenous village on the banks of the Tuquesa River received over 2,000 migrants daily during peak migration periods,” efe.com reported.
Where once stood makeshift lodgings, food stalls and clothing shops, there now are empty sites.
The result comes partly from the decision by Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino to close jungle trails and reach an agreement with the United States for deportation flights.
“According to Panamanian authorities, only 2,927 migrants crossed the Darién into North America in the first half of this year,” the report said. Most were in January, 2,229, just before President Trump took office.
White House spokesman Abigail Jackson told the Mail, “Word of the United States’ secure border has spread so far around the world, that migrants aren’t even willing to make the dangerous journey to get here because they know they’ll be turned away.”
She noted over the last two months, Border Patrol officers have released zero illegal aliens into the United States.
