President Trump Cites Massive Border Achievement, Declares ‘Invasion Of Our Country Is OVER’

After years of the Biden administration’s open-borders policies ushered in countless migrants in open violation of U.S. immigration law, President Donald Trump returned to the White House with a mandate to retake control of the nation’s borders.

The illegal flow of migrants began to slow substantially in anticipation of Trump’s inauguration, and in the weeks since then those border-crossings have dropped to a small fraction of the number reported just a few months ago.

Bringing attention to his administration’s success, Trump took to social media to declare a ceremonial victory in the war against illegal immigration.

As Breitbart reported:

“The Invasion of our Country is OVER,” Trump posted on his TruthSocial account, adding:

The month of February, my first full month in Office, had the LOWEST number of Illegal Immigrants trying to enter our Country in History – BY FAR! There were only 8,326 apprehensions of Illegals by Border Patrol at the U.S. – Mexico Border, all of whom were quickly ejected from our Nation or, when necessary, prosecuted for crimes against the United States of America. This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER.

In December, which was Biden’s last full month in office, 124,000 migrants were caught or arrested at U.S. borders. That 2024 number was down from 373,883 in December 2023when Biden’s deputies were spending heavily to rush in migrants from around the world.

Trump continued:

In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country. Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants. Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation.

Others members of Trump’s administration some of his high-profile supporters also been celebrating the achievements:

February was the lowest month in recorded history for encounters at our border. The world is hearing our message: do not come to our country illegally. If you do, we will find you, arrest you, and send you back.

UPI detailed some of the significant immigration reform efforts already underway in Trump’s second term:

Once elected, he mobilized federal agencies to enhance border enforcement and arrest and detain undocumented migrants in the United States.

The mobilization includes the U.S. military, which has stationed troops at the U.S.-Mexico border and uses military aircraft to deport undocumented migrants.

Trump earlier declared illegal border crossings a national security priority, which enables the military to become an active partner in border enforcement.

The Department of Defense on Saturday announced the deployment of an armored Stryker brigade combat team and a general-support aviation battalion to reinforce and expand current border security operations.

The forces are 2,400 soldiers from Fort Carson in Colorado and around 500 service members from Fort Stewart in Georgia, CNN reported.

They will arrive in the coming weeks and affirms the DOD’s “unwavering dedication to working alongside the Department of Homeland Security to secure our southern border and maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of the United States,” the DOD announcement said.

Immigration enforcement also increased greatly in February.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday announced the arrests of more than 20,000 migrants who illegally were in the United States in February.
