When Brandon was in office, we were told that it would take an act of Congress to close the border against the illegal alien invasion. Get this … they lied to us.
President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, revealed a statistic on Presidents’ Day that indicates the United States is successfully cracking down on illegal crossings in a way not seen in decades.
“In the last 24 hours the US Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border. That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under [President Joe] Biden,” Homan said in a post to X on Monday. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low. President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.”
Look, ma! No congress!
All it took was a determined leader to put America first.
And the people are with Trump.
If you’re looking for a reason why Trump won so handily against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, illegal immigration looms large. The online national I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Jan. 29-31, asked 1,478 adults around the country four questions about Trump’s immigration policies and the actions he has taken so far. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points.
The first question: “Do you support or oppose Trump’s promise of large-scale deportations of illegal migrants?” By a roughly 3-to-2 majority, voters back this idea. The actual numbers: 57% say they support it either “strongly” (35%) or “somewhat” (22%), while just 35% oppose it “strongly” (22%) or “somewhat” (13%). Another 8% aren’t sure.
How does that split with regard to political affiliation? Republicans (85% support, 11% oppose) and independents (54% support, 37% oppose) both gave strong backing.
What about the Democrats? A solid majority oppose it, at 59%, but 31% (nearly one in three) support it. And that support likely comes from two pillars of the Democratic Party: black voters (43% support, 45% oppose) and Hispanic voters (46% support, 44% oppose).
Even though Trump’s action has broad backing, he faces harassment from pro-invasion groups.
A pro-immigration group suing the Trump administration to unfreeze federal grants for immigration programs says its aim is to provide constitutionally protected due process rights for illegal aliens facing deportation. But the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights’ rhetoric—including in ads it runs on Facebook—suggests it has far more radical goals in mind.
The Washington, D.C., nonprofit, is running advertisements on Facebook soliciting donations to “disrupt Trump’s deportation machine” and to “stop Trump’s deportation dystopia.” Another ad says “See you in court, Trump,” a reference to a lawsuit that the Amica Center has filed to block President Donald Trump’s executive order, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” which paused funding for several Justice Department programs that provide legal services for illegal aliens.
Since the last fiscal year, the Amica Center has received nearly $9 million as a subcontractor to provide legal services through the Department of Justice’s Legal Orientation Program (LOP), which informs illegal aliens about immigration court proceedings, according to federal spending records. It is a subcontractor through the Acacia Center for Justice, a federally funded pro-immigration group that claims the immigration system is “intentionally designed” to exploit “Black and brown people.”
Starve them of funding and put them out of business.
Trump is delivering on his promise regarding illegal aliens in the country. He’s shut down the border and he’s deporting the worst of them.
And the country is behind him.
