Border Patrol union chief praises ‘miraculous’ drop in illegal immigration under Trump. Imagine that, a 53% drop and that’s without a new wall.
This month, Customs and Border Protection reported a 53 percent decrease in the number of apprehensions at the southwest border since last year. The number also includes those deemed inadmissible. CBP sees apprehensions as a proxy for how many people are trying to cross the border, and says the drop in apprehensions indicates a drop in attempted illegal crossings.
