Even mainstream media outlets that have long been critical of President Trump are being forced to admit the obvious: his aggressive border enforcement policies are working to dramatically reduce illegal immigration, with border crossings plummeting to historic lows in February.
It must seriously pain them…
At a Glance
- Border crossings have fallen to the lowest levels in over two decades under Trump’s policies
- Even liberal media outlets like CBS News are acknowledging the effectiveness of Trump’s approach
- Trump’s administration has reinstated tough enforcement mechanisms that are deterring illegal entries
- The success comes after Biden’s policies led to record-high illegal crossings
- Border officials credit the administration’s clear messaging and enforcement for the dramatic decline
Media Finally Admits Trump’s Border Success
In a remarkable turn of events, mainstream media outlets that spent years attacking President Donald Trump’s immigration policies are now being forced to acknowledge their effectiveness. Recent reports from traditionally left-leaning news organizations are highlighting the dramatic drop in illegal border crossings that has occurred since Trump took office in January and immediately implemented his promised border security measures.
The February numbers tell a compelling story that even the most anti-Trump media outlets can’t ignore. Border apprehensions have plummeted to their lowest levels in more than two decades, representing a stunning reversal after the Biden administration oversaw the worst border crisis in American history with record-high illegal crossings month after month.
🚨🇺🇸BORDER CROSSINGS DROP TO LOWEST LEVEL IN 60 YEARS
Illegal crossings at the southern border have plummeted 90% compared to last year, reaching historic lows.
In February, just 359 illegal migrants have been caught daily, down from 4,850 per day a year ago.

This was the only possibility after Trump won. The media said Biden secured the border, and the numbers now prove otherwise. What else could the media do?
Trump’s Policies Working as Promised
The dramatic decline in illegal crossings is directly attributed to President Trump’s swift implementation of tough border enforcement policies that he campaigned on during the 2024 election. His administration quickly reinstated several key policies that had been abandoned by the Biden administration, including a version of the successful “Remain in Mexico” program and expanded use of expedited removal proceedings for those entering illegally.
Border officials have been clear about the causes of this dramatic turnaround. Many point to the administration’s decisive action and clear messaging that illegal entry will not be tolerated. The psychological impact of Trump’s policies has created a powerful deterrent effect, with would-be migrants now understanding that attempting to cross illegally will likely result in swift deportation rather than release into the United States.
For those who supported President Trump’s border security agenda through years of media criticism and Democratic obstruction, the current situation represents a powerful vindication – but it’s hard to know how long they’ll be “nice” to him.
The same news organizations that once denounced Trump’s border policies as cruel or ineffective are now reporting on their undeniable success, though often buried beneath qualifiers and attempts to minimize the administration’s role in the improvement. The truth hurts!
