One America News<\/a> posted an article today with the following title, “Border apprehensions nosedive after President Trump\u2019s Mexico deal.”<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Apprehensions on the southern border have plummeted, following President Trump\u2019s historic deal with Mexico. According to leaked Department of Homeland Security data, apprehensions at the southern border dropped by 25-percent between May and June.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This drop was corroborated by acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan on Friday, who attributed the change to President Trump\u2019s deal with Mexico in June. The deal called on Mexican officials to do more to stop the flow of illegal migration to the U.S. southern border.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s become clear that over the past three weeks, since the administration reached a new agreement with Mexico, that we\u2019ve seen a substantial increase in the number of interdictions on the Mexican southern border and a sincere effort to address the transportation networks coming through Mexico,\u201d stated McAleenan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the month of June typically sees a decline in border apprehensions, a 25-percent decrease is unprecedented compared to previous years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

“While it\u2019s been many weeks coming, I think we should pause to note the significance of the strong bipartisan votes to respond the administrations request and provide the over $4.5 billion in total to support these humanitarian missions,\u201d said the DHS secretary. \u201cAlthough we did not get everything we asked for, including \u2014 importantly \u2014 additional ICE beds for single adults, the bill substantially addresses our request.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the decline, McAleenan admited there\u2019s still a lot of work that needs to be done to stop the flow of migrants from central America. He also said he believes we should wait to see if the drop in apprehensions continues in the coming months to assess just how much more work needs to be done to combat the migrant crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the advantages of having a businessman as President, is that President Trump understands that money (tariffs) can be used as leverage. The change in the situation at our southern border is an example of that. Hopefully, the decrease in illegal immigrants attempting to enter America illegally will continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
