Trump’s swift control of the border proves his predecessors were lying

Eleven straight months. Zero illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior. Not one.

The Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol have just confirmed what the Biden-Harris administration spent four years insisting could never happen. We have just lived through the eleventh consecutive month of zero releases at the border.

That is the number that dismantles every argument from the open-border crowd from the last several decades. They said enforcement was racist. They said a secure border was structurally impossible. They said consequences were a form of cruelty.

The numbers above say otherwise.

Long ago, I worked in private security and bodyguard detail through years of urban chaos. I guarded VIP motorcades through the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The lesson that every threat environment teaches is the same one every Marine officer learns in training: Predators make their moves when authority blinks.

Biden-Harris didn’t just blink — they threw the doors open and left the porch light on. They sabotaged immigration enforcement. The cartels got the message instantly, as did every smuggling operation, human trafficking network, and fentanyl distributor with logistics on the U.S. side.

Here is the damage report from the reversal: Southwest border apprehensions in March 2026: 8,268, a fall of 97 percent fom the Biden peak. Daily average encounters: only 267. At the height of the Biden disaster in December 2023, Border Patrol was logging 336 encounters per hour.
