President Donald Trump ran a successful set of immigration policies during his first term in the White House, and so far, during his second term, his policies are bolder and even more effective.
According to Breitbart, Trump took a victory lap this week regarding the number of illegal immigrant arrests at the southern U.S. border, declaring on Truth Social that the migrant invasion of the United States is "over."
Trump cited the latest numbers that show record low apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the border -- a far cry from the high numbers experienced under former President Joe Biden.
The president, on his first day in the White House for his second term, enacted hundreds of executive orders meant to crack down on the invasion of illegals. And it's working as intended.
Trump held nothing back in justifiably bragging about his border policies resulting in record low apprehensions.
"The month of February, my first full month in Office, had the LOWEST number of Illegal Immigrants trying to enter our Country in History – BY FAR! 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," Trump wrote.
Trump added, "This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER."
February was the lowest month in recorded history for encounters at our border. 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… pic.twitter.com/m6OMiG32Dm

The 47th president then compared his numbers to the embarrassingly high numbers under the Biden-Harris administration.
"In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country. Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants. Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation," Trump wrote.
The president's supporters across social media reacted to the big news.
"Biden and the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) all lied and said they needed that awful bill in Congress to be passed to secure the Border. No. That bill would have legalized 5000 illegal immigrants a day and changed enforcement mechanism. Not good. Trump fixed it," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "That is amazing. It’s just further proof that the Biden administration was intentionally allowing illegals to freely cross our borders."
Only time will tell how effective Trump's border policies are, but so far, they're looking really successful.
