Border crossing numbers hit a new low in March, with federal agents encountering about 7,000 people entering the U.S. illegally last month, mainly through the San Diego and El Paso sectors.
Compared to March 2024, when 137,000 individuals crossed the southern border illegally, that’s a 94 percent decrease.
Homeland Security officials told the New York Post it’s easy to explain the decline: “the Trump effect.”
