Day 382
1 documented win
Border crossings at a 55-year low
The win
Pew-cited Border Patrol data put 2025 Mexican-border encounters at 237,538 — the lowest since 1970. Fox noted Democrats had spent years saying only a comprehensive bill could do this. Enforcement did it without one.
For Americans
A 55-year low is the scoreboard. Neighborhoods that were absorbing bus arrivals, school districts that were adding trailers, and ER nurses who were doing intake all get their jobs back.
