President Donald Trump has returned to the White House at a pace that could make even the fastest track star feel inadequate. His zealous approach to tackling key initiatives might just be giving everyday Americans whiplash. In the frenzy of daily announcements and impacts, it’s possible people might lose track of the promises that got him there in the first place. If Americans can’t keep up, they might forget that the former president promised to address illegal immigration. Spoiler alert: Trump is doing exactly that.
New York Post recently reported, based on unnamed insiders from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, that Trump has managed to deport over 100,000 illegal immigrants in just 70 days. That’s an impressive feat, particularly in a country where the previous administration seemed to roll out the welcome mat for anyone willing to cross the border. For those keeping count, that’s about 113,000 arrests and more than 100,000 deportations at a time when immigration was treated like a free-for-all carnival.

Typical of the mainstream media, which has a hard time spinning any Trump policy successes into something positive, the deportation efforts have been largely overshadowed. Why? Because the American public largely supports these actions. Clearly, it’s a tricky situation for the press when what people want and what they report are two very different things. Even the anonymous whistleblowers were careful to describe Trump’s efforts in measured tones, probably aware that their job security relies on avoiding liberal ire.
Unbeknownst to many, March saw a historic low in border crossings with just 7,000 illegal entries recorded, which one source claimed was the “Trump effect.” That’s right; under Trump, illegal immigration is no longer the freebie it once was under the Biden administration, where an alarming 137,000 migrants crossed the border in March 2024 alone. To put that into perspective, those figures would suggest that the Biden administration has a soft spot for chaos, or perhaps an aversion to enforcing the law.
Immigration isn’t just numbers and statistics; it has real-life consequences. One cannot forget the sum of human suffering caused by past policies. Under Biden, the DHS lost track of 323,000 children—a heartfelt mess that leaves countless families in limbo, constantly praying for a brighter future. The women and girls who fell victim to heinous crimes at the hands of uncontrolled immigration bear scars that won’t easily fade.
In light of these alarming realities, Trump seems unwavering in his mission to reverse the open border policies that left America perched on the precipice of disaster. As he undertakes this essential cleanup effort, it’s crucial that the American people stay informed—not just about the chaos but about the solutions being implemented. With a keen focus on fixing the border disaster left behind, Trump’s administration signifies an ideal commitment to ensuring security and sanity are restored to American immigration.
