Border Chaos Vanishes—Trump’s Troops Flood South

Tom Homan, Border Czar

Border crossings have plummeted by over 90% in just months since President Trump returned to office, triggering a seismic shift at the southern border that has the open-borders lobby spinning and everyday Americans finally breathing a sigh of relief wondering, “Why wasn’t this done years ago?”

Trump’s Border Crackdown Delivers Results the Left Never Wanted

When President Trump took the oath of office for a second term, many wondered if he would follow through on his promises to end the chaos unleashed by the last administration’s border policies. The numbers are in, and the results are nothing short of staggering. According to Customs and Border Protection, southern border encounters nosedived from 189,359 in March 2024 to just 11,017 in March 2025—a record low that stands as a dramatic rebuke to the open-borders agenda that plagued the country for years. Border apprehensions in March hit just over 7,000, a 95% drop from the previous year. The administration wasted no time in declaring a national emergency and unleashing a flurry of executive orders to empower border agents and deploy military support at an unprecedented scale. The message is crystal clear: America’s borders are no longer open for business, and the days of incentivizing illegal entry with taxpayer-funded benefits and handouts are over.

For years, Americans watched in disbelief as the previous administration bent over backwards for illegal aliens, prioritizing their welfare over the safety and prosperity of our own citizens. The Trump administration has flipped the script, putting the needs of American families and national sovereignty first. The military now plays a direct role in border enforcement, with over 10,000 service members deployed and new National Defense Areas established to support a multi-layered defense. The border wall, once mocked and halted by the left, is back under construction and expanding—delivering the physical deterrent that common sense always demanded. Surveillance operations, biometric checkpoints, and a renewed sense of mission have Border Patrol agents doing what they were trained to do: enforce the law and protect the country. The results speak for themselves, and the contrast with the last four years couldn’t be sharper.

From Chaos to Control: The End of Open Borders?

The “Trump Effect” on the border is more than just numbers—it’s a complete reversal of the lawlessness that reigned under the previous regime. Within days of taking office, Trump signed a series of executive orders restoring authority to Border Patrol and greenlighting the military’s expanded role in domestic enforcement. The Department of Defense now has jurisdiction over border lands, and the administration has authorized the creation of new National Defense Areas—effectively putting swaths of the border under military control. This has allowed for the rapid deployment of surveillance, drone patrols, and non-intrusive inspection technologies that the left either ignored or outright opposed. The administration has spent hundreds of millions of dollars reestablishing control, and the investment is already paying off. While critics on the left howl about “militarization,” everyday Americans are seeing results—and that’s what matters.

Under Biden, border agents were hamstrung by policies that tied their hands and encouraged an unprecedented surge of illegal crossings. Sanctuary cities flourished, and the American taxpayer footed the bill for a wave of crime, social services, and chaos that never should have happened. Now, with the return of common sense and the rule of law, the tide has decisively turned. The combination of military presence, infrastructure improvements, and strict enforcement has put criminal cartels and would-be border crossers on notice: America is done being taken for a ride. The administration’s actions have sent a clear signal to the world that the era of open borders is over, and the focus is back where it belongs—on protecting American lives and livelihoods.

Conservative Principles Prevail While the Left Fumes

Conservatives have long argued that border security isn’t just about fences and agents—it’s about upholding the Constitution, defending national sovereignty, and ensuring the safety of the American people. The Trump administration’s policies deliver exactly that. While left-wing activists and media outlets clutch their pearls over the supposed “militarization” of the border, the facts are undeniable: illegal crossings are down, security is up, and the American people are finally being put first. The expansion of border infrastructure, the creation of military-controlled zones, and the deployment of advanced surveillance have all combined to restore order and deterrence where there was once only chaos.

The administration’s willingness to take bold, decisive action—regardless of the predictable shrieks from the left—proves once again that real leadership means putting American interests ahead of globalist fantasies and woke agendas. The border is secure, the flood of illegal crossings has been stemmed, and the contrast with the failed policies of the previous administration could not be clearer. The era of appeasement and surrender is over. The era of law, order, and common sense is back—much to the relief of every American who believes in this country and its Constitution.
