Illegal border crossings have dropped to levels that have not been seen in more than two decades during President Donald Trump's first month in office, according to government statistics.
The Border Patrol last month reported apprehending about 8,450 migrants crossing into the United States between official entry points at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to preliminary statistics, reports CBS News Saturday.
The only other time monthly apprehensions came to being that low in the past 25 years also occurred when Trump was in office, with approximately 11,000 migrants being apprehended at the southwest border in April 2017, the agency's data shows.
This shit
is OVER.
Under U.S. law, migrants on American soil can claim asylum to stop or delay deportation proceedings, but the Trump administration claims that there is an "invasion" of migrants and says that the asylum system has been abused by smugglers and people claiming asylum for economic reasons, which is not allowed.
Trump has also deployed thousands of military troops to the southern border and has ordered the use of military planes to deport migrants.
The administration is also considering bringing back the use of public health law Title 42 to expel migrants. The statute was used during the COVID pandemic and now could be used on the grounds that migrants can spread deadly diseases such as tuberculosis.
Oh, and Democrats actually spent FEMA funds putting those animals in LUXURY HOTELS.
The government's leading disaster relief agency reportedly spent millions on hotels for illegal immigrants just last week, according to Elon Musk, who is leading the Trump administration's efforts to cut government spending.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by the tech billionaire, has been conducting a sweep of federal funding and identifying areas in which "waste" within the government can be slashed. Musk found his most recent target in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the government's disaster relief branch that recently sparked concern over a reported lack of funds during Hurricane Helene.
"The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants," Musk claimed in a post on X on Monday morning.
Folks, especially you people in North Carolina whose houses were destroyed by the flood and you only got $700 from FEMA,
THIS IS YOUR FCKING MONEY FEMA HAS GIVEN TO THOSE ANIMALS.
