In May of 2024, when the Biden administration was still in power, 62,000 illegal immigrants were released into the United States. This May, now that Trump is back in power? Zero.
It’s just as Trump said at his joint address to Congress back in March, “It turned out that all we really needed was a new President.”
That quote has become a running theme on Twitter/X:
The New York Post reports:
Border agents didn’t release a single illegal migrant into the US last month — down from 62K under BidenBorder Patrol agents didn’t release a single migrant into the US last month — a staggering drop after the Biden administration allowed 62,000 illegal crossers in the country in May 2024, The Post can exclusively reveal.Agents caught 8,725 migrants crossing illegally at the southern border last month.That’s a 93% decrease from May 2024, when 117,905 were nabbed, according to internal data obtained by The Post.And acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Pete Flores said it’s a result of the Trump administration’s tough border policies.One of the most monumental policy changes made by Trump was the reversal of President Joe Biden’s catch-and-release scheme, which resulted in millions of illegal border jumpers being allowed into the US.“Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year,” Flores said in a statement shared with The Post.“Border numbers continue to trend at historic lows, reinforcing the sustained success of our enforcement efforts in securing the homeland and protecting American communities,” he said.
At the time of this writing, I have not been able to find a mainstream news source other than the New York Post that is reporting this story.
Isn’t that curious?
