Trump Administration Achieves 13 Consecutive Months of Zero Illegal Alien Releases at U.S.-Mexico Border

In a significant achievement for the Trump administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics reveal that the policy of zero illegal alien releases at the U.S.-Mexico border has been successfully maintained for 13 consecutive months.

The data, provided to Breitbart Texas, shows that total apprehensions at the southwest border in May were lower than the single-day rates at the peak of the Biden border crisis. This decline in apprehensions can be attributed to the Trump administration's strict border control policies, which have been in place since the beginning of 2022.

The Catalyst

The Trump administration's approach to border control has been marked by a series of policy changes aimed at reducing illegal immigration. One of the key factors contributing to the success of these policies has been the implementation of the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are processed in the United States.

Behind Closed Doors

According to sources within the CBP, the zero-release policy has been effective in deterring illegal border crossings. The policy has also been supported by the construction of physical barriers along the border and the deployment of additional border patrol agents. These measures have significantly reduced the number of successful border crossings, resulting in fewer apprehensions and zero releases.

The Market Fallout

The impact of the Trump administration's border control policies on the economy is a topic of ongoing debate. While some argue that the policies have led to a reduction in labor costs and an increase in national security, others claim that they have resulted in significant economic losses for businesses that rely on migrant labor.
