@Sleepyguy saidOf course you don't care about Trump breaking the law, you've made that abundantly clear.
I don't care. It seems like immigration law maybe should have had some effect on their not being here illegally in the first place, but I don't think you care that our government facilitated their illegal entry, so I feel fine cutting the Trump admin some slack on how they deal with the crisis.
It's just a mark of your extreme hypocrisy plus your brain dead acceptance of every bit of right wing propaganda (Biden's administration removed millions but you're still convinced there was an "open border" because that what you were and are told).
Present policies are damaging to the long term interests of the US; we should be encouraging immigration not making it clear that people from most countries aren't welcome here.

@no1marauder saidLess border crossings now. From Perplexity;

Yes, there is currently less traffic at the U.S.-Mexico border compared to previous years. Several factors have contributed to this decrease:
Crackdowns on Migration: Both the U.S. and Mexican governments have implemented stricter policies to deter migration. Mexico increased its efforts to block migrants from reaching the U.S.-Mexico border, while the U.S. has tightened asylum access and enhanced security measures12.
Decline in Migrant Encounters: The number of migrant encounters by Border Patrol has significantly decreased in 2024 compared to 2023's record highs. For example, encounters dropped by about 77% from December 2023 to August 20242. By February 2025, illegal crossings were down more than 90% compared to previous years67.
Shifts in Migration Patterns: There is evidence of westward movement in migration patterns along the border, with sectors like Tucson and San Diego experiencing higher activity recently1. However, overall numbers remain low.
In summary, recent data indicates a substantial reduction in migrant traffic at the U.S.-Mexico border due to policy changes and enforcement efforts by both countries.
Key Statistics:
Total encounters at ports of entry plus apprehensions were lower than ever recorded since January 2021 as of November 20244.
February crossings could total around only about 10,000 for the month if trends continue7.
The decline includes significant drops across various nationalities such as Guatemala (-81😵 and Honduras (-76😵 between December 2023 and August 20242.

Yes.
they're all guilty of criminal trespassing. Wake up, libo-suction
The most number of convictions for that petty misdemeanor was less than 5,000 in any year during the first Trump administration.
@Rajk999 saidBS.
Trump is discouraging illegal immigration. Biden encouraged illegal immigration.
Trump is discouraging immigration period. He has declared a bogus "state of emergency" and has discontinued any asylum applications in violation of existing law. He has stated he wants to end chain migration which has led to substantial increases in immigration.
And contrary to right wing propaganda, millions of undocumented immigrants were removed under the Biden administration.
@no1marauder saidlack of convictions, aka - government failure, is supposed to impress me? lol

@no1marauder saidIt's not what I want... it was me pointing out to Shouse that they the illegal aliens are called that for a reason.

let's not get confuse the point.

Under Biden there was a massive influx illegal immigrants.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidMany are incorrectly called that.

"About 2.1 million people awaiting a decision on their asylum claims.
521,000 parolees, allowed into the U.S. for humanitarian or national security reasons, like those paroled recently from Afghanistan and Ukraine.
654,000 people who hold temporary protected status because it would be unsafe for them to return home due to armed conflict, natural disasters and other emergencies.
562,000 who are protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program because they were brought to the United States as children by their parents.
The report estimates that just over one-quarter of undocumented immigrants currently occupy this type of “in-between” status. These immigrants are protected from deportation. Some even have a legal right to work in the U.S. Yet they do not possess a durable legal immigration status, and their rights could be threatened by policy changes."

These groups are all routinely included as "illegal aliens" in right wing propaganda.
EDIT: The dreaded "word too long". The name of the article is: "Analysis: Who are the immigrants who come to the U.S.? Here’s the data." Google it.
@Rajk999 said(Shrug) There's been a "massive influx" of immigrants for a long time into the US.
Fact - ...By February 2025, illegal crossings were down more than 90% compared to previous years
Under Biden there was a massive influx illegal immigrants.
Biden didn't invite them here though during COVID the numbers decreased sharply for obvious reasons only to swell once the pandemic abated.
You cherry picked with your quote. Here it is in full:
"The number of migrant encounters by Border Patrol has significantly decreased in 2024 compared to 2023's record highs. For example, encounters dropped by about 77% from December 2023 to August 20242. By February 2025, illegal crossings were down more than 90% compared to previous years67."
@no1marauder saidTell that to Biden and all the lawless bastards that are hopefully being rousted out of the government. We're just not listening to it anymore, no1. I don't believe you actually care about the law beyond how it can be used against political enemies.
Maybe you missed this:
