Yet another Trump success story that must demoralize Libs to no end. They never get old.
"
Arrests of people crossing the southwestern border have plummeted by 75% since May, marking one of the most dramatic drops in recent history and a sign that policy changes by the Trump administration and Mexico are reducing migration to the U.S.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday that 33,510 people were arrested after illegally crossing the border in November, marking the sixth straight monthly decline since May, when 132,000 such apprehensions marked a 13-year high.
The majority of those apprehended last year were families and unaccompanied children from Central America, nearly all of whom surrendered to border officials seeking asylum in the U.S. An unexpected surge of such migrants in the spring of this year
created a crisis as the federal government proved unable to process them efficiently in safe and healthy conditions.
Of those arrested in November, 9,000 were traveling as families, according to CBP.
Border arrests typically decline this time of year and rise again in the spring when temperatures warm. Even so,
the May-November decline is the biggest in absolute numbers and second biggest by percentage of any six-month period this century. The last few months of the Obama administration and the first few of the Trump administration saw a 76% drop, starting from a smaller peak of 47,211.
“
This is a direct result due to this president’s strategies to address the historic flood of Central Americans, families, illegally crossing the border,” acting CBP Comissioner Mark Morgan said at a press conference Monday. “
The network of initiatives have worked and continues to work.”
"Some of the people at Moviemento Juventud are waiting for their cases to be resolved through
the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocols program, which since January has sent 54,000 migrants back to Mexico to await adjudication of their asylum claims. Previously, most migrants traveling as families who requested asylum were released in the U.S. CBP had previously said roughly 59,000 people had been sent back, but revised the figure after auditing data on the program.
The program, often called Remain in Mexico, is one of the biggest contributors to the decline of border arrests, immigration experts say. It has deterred some people from coming into the U.S., due to knowledge that they are likely to be stranded in Mexico for months while their cases are decided."
Trump doesn't need to be a genius to accomplish this. The stay in Mexico system was common sense. He just needed to cut thru Lib BS as only he is willing to do. Any other Pub would be intimidated by the Lib/media backlash. Not this ballsy President. Bravo!!

Even the supposed smart ones are deranged, delusional and living in an alternate universe.
