They can call it “fake news” all they want, but facts are stubborn things — and the facts show the border is getting under control because this administration finally put America first. Federal numbers released in mid-February 2025 show arrests at the southern border plunged to 29,000 in January, the lowest monthly total since May 2020, and a clear signal that aggressive enforcement is working.
Those figures are not partisan talking points; they are tangible results that mean fewer illegal crossings, fewer drugs on our streets, and more breathing room for Border Patrol to do its job properly. The January tally dropped from 47,000 in December, proving the decline was sudden and real — a direct consequence of the policy shift Washington refused to make for years.
President Trump moved fast after taking office on January 20, 2025, signing executive actions to tighten asylum rules, surge military support to the border, and accelerate deportations of criminal noncitizens — steps the previous White House either ignored or undermined. Whatever your view of his style, the strategy was plain: enforce the law, stop the flows, and restore order at the line that defines our nation.
Even outlets that spent years peddling the “open borders” narrative couldn’t bury a damning admission from the criminal underworld itself — a Sinaloa cartel member told CNN that the administration’s crackdown has made smuggling harder and more expensive, forcing cartels to recalibrate. When the drug traffickers and smugglers are admitting defeat on camera, decent Americans should take notice: the hard work of border enforcement is striking at the cartels’ bottom line.
And the media’s own left-leaning pundits have had to concede the obvious: former MSNBC analyst Steve Rattner bluntly said on Morning Joe that Biden’s immigration approach “was not Biden’s finest moment” and that crossings soared after 2021, underscoring how presidential words and weak enforcement invite chaos. When even the cable chatterers acknowledge a problem existed and that enforcement matters, conservatives win the argument about cause and effect.
Make no mistake — this victory didn’t come from kumbaya diplomacy or virtue-signaling; it came from decisive action, cooperation with partner nations, and refusing to let illegal crossings become the default. Patriots who care about secure communities and a functioning legal system should be unapologetic in celebrating these results and demanding continued rigor at the border.
The lesson for hardworking Americans is simple: laws must be enforced, borders must be defended, and leaders must have the courage to do what needs doing. The mainstream media can keep whining and spinning, but the charts, the cartel admissions, and the drop in crossings tell the real story — a story of America reasserting control over its destiny.
