Border Crisis Puts Up a Fight, But Trump Handles It Like a Pro!

America’s worst border crisis is over—just six weeks after Donald Trump’s second inauguration. A historic promise kept, sealing what may be one of the defining moments of his presidency.

And according to immigration experts, the fix is expected to hold for at least the next four years, saving taxpayers billions in welfare costs.

“We know enough now to justify a declaration about the greatest mass-migration border crisis ever to have stricken the United States and probably any other country in the world: It is now, finally, at its end,” said Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies.

“A fitting tombstone might read ‘RIP, Mass Migration Crisis: January 2021 to January 2024,’” he added.

Bensman, who chronicled the crisis under Biden in his book Overrun, pointed out the stark contrast between two inaugurations, calling them the most disastrous and successful days in America’s immigration battle.

“Bam: As quickly as Biden opened the border on his 2021 Inauguration Day, Donald Trump closed it before the sun set on his in 2025,” he wrote in a blog post for CIS.

Biden, on his first day in office, dismantled Trump’s strict border policies, effectively swinging the gates wide open. Immigration hawks warned this move would trigger a flood—and it did. Over the next four years, millions poured in, both legally and illegally.

By the end of Biden’s term, roughly 350,000 migrants were entering the country each month. That number has now plummeted to just 300 per day.

Trump’s return to the White House signaled a swift reversal. He reinstated his hardline immigration agenda, put border czar Tom Homan back in charge, and struck deals with Mexico and Canada to reinforce migration control.

“There are no more needy foreign newcomers showing up with hands outstretched,” said Bensman.

Trump’s aggressive approach created a border security framework unlike anything seen before, bringing the country closer than ever to achieving full operational control.

“Because of the multi-layered policy architecture Trump has already put in place, the border has moved closer than ever to the probably unattainable goal of full operational control required of the Department of Homeland Security,” Bensman explained.

And it all happened without the sweeping immigration reform Democrats and former Vice President Kamala Harris once pushed for.

“No one on Trump’s Inauguration Day suddenly cured climate change and the long list of other ‘root causes’ that supposedly drove swamping numbers of migrants over hapless Border Patrol agents and detention centers starting on Biden’s inauguration day,” Bensman noted. “Instead, it was always something far simpler available to any president: To open or close the border gate with the push of a couple of policy buttons.”

As long as Trump and his border team keep the pressure on, the crisis should remain in check for the rest of his term.

“All of this layered architecture has dramatically lowered the odds that many foreign national gamblers are going to lay down their smuggling money on the green felt,” Bensman concluded. “And that’s why I feel comfortable declaring that the greatest mass migration crisis in U.S. history is over and the southern border is closed. At least for the next four years.”
