...are a lot better than they've been:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/apprehensions-sout....

The number of apprehensions along the southwestern U.S. border plummeted by a third during January, according to statistics obtained by ABC News on Tuesday.

There were 61,465 apprehensions along the southwest border in January, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, down from 96,048 in December 2024.

The numbers fell even more after President Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, according to the data.

How much further did they fall?

In the three weeks before the inauguration, there was a daily average of more than 2,000 apprehensions, which fell to a daily average of 786 migrant apprehensions after the inauguration.

In other words, when you remove several incentives to make the strip and risk getting caught...fewer people will take the risk.
