Texas has seen a significant decrease in border crossings since President Trump resumed office on January 20th. The latest data from the Texas DPS shows that in one day alone, on February 7th, there were 289 recorded cases of border crossings on the southwest portion of the border.

Border Czar Tom Homan spoke with Charlie Kirk this week and explained the massive decline in border crossings from approximately 11,000 per day down to just under 450 total crossings per day in just 18 days of President Trump taking office.

“Give us a status report so far of how your operations are going?” Kirk asked.

“We are at about 12,000 criminal arrests in the interior of the United States. Vast majority of them being public safety threats,” Homan said.

“I looked at the border numbers yesterday. Total border crossings 446. 446! I haven’t seen that number forever. Remember not too long ago we were dealing with 11,000 a day under Joe Biden,” Homan continued.

President Trump has kept his promise to the American people to protect its citizens from an invasion and to deport illegal aliens.

Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution gives the Federal Government the authority to protect its borders.

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution.

The rule of law is back.
