The Trump administration today announced that the number of illegal-alien border crossing attempts in February was the lowest in U.S. history – a mere 8.326.
President Trump shared the data on social media, writing, "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."
Continuing, Trump announced, "The invasion of our country is OVER."
During the Biden administration, there were as many as 300,000 illegal crossings in a month, "and virtually ALL of them were released into our County," Trump noted.
CBS reported that on some days during a record spike in illegal crossings under President Biden, Border Patrol recorded more than 8,000 apprehensions in a single day.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also posted on X, thanking the president for his leadership.
"February was the lowest month in recorded history for encounters at our border," wrote Noem. "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. Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for your strong leadership and to our brave @CBP officers and agents for keeping America safe.
"We're just getting started."
