The Biden narrative about “needing Congress” to secure the border? Busted.
According to the latest numbers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, illegal border crossings hit record lows in the month of March — evidence that operational control is becoming a reality.
President Trump shared the news on TRUTH Social, saying, “BORDER CROSSINGS HIT ALL TIME RECORD LOW IN MARCH!!!”
From Fox News:
Border Patrol apprehended a total of 7,181 illegal aliens attempting to cross the southern border between ports of entry in March. This constitutes a 14% decrease from February when Border Patrol apprehended 8,346 aliens, and more dramatically, a 95% decrease from the 137,473 aliens apprehended under the Biden administration in the same period in 2024.
Meanwhile, CBP’s Office of Field Operations, which manages immigration enforcement at the country’s 328 ports of entry, reported that nationwide encounters averaged approximately 673 per day in March. This is 3% lower than the office’s 693 daily average encounters in February and 81% lower than the 3,464 per day average from March 2024.
Acting CBP Commissioner Pete Flores said the record-low numbers are due to the agency’s dedicated agents.
“U.S. Border Patrol’s apprehensions along the southwest border for the entire month of March 2025 were lower than the first two days of March 2024,” he said. “This is a testament to the tireless dedication and vigilant service of the men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, who work every day to keep our country safe. Their commitment on the front lines plays a vital role in securing our borders and protecting American communities.”
