I have been to the Mexican border there in Arizona and the improvements is inspiring, this is great for all Americans
Reports and official data from 2025 and early 2026 indicate a significant decrease in illegal crossings at the U.S. southern border. According to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the border has reached its most secure state in modern history.
Illegal entries have plummeted, with some reporting a 93% drop in daily encounters and migrant crossings down by as much as 99.99% compared to previous peaks.
For several consecutive months starting in 2025, the Trump administration has reported "zero releases" of migrants into the interior of the U.S
The decline is largely attributed to the end of "catch and release" policies, increased prosecutions for illegal entrants, and the blocking of asylum claims at the border.
Border towns like Eagle Pass, Texas, which previously saw thousands of migrants daily, now report much lower numbers, sometimes as few as 20 encounters per day.
Many border residents feel significant relief due to stricter enforcement and the resumption of wall construction.
Ranchers like John Ladd in Arizona have stated they "sleep better" now that their property is no longer overrun by trespassers crossing from Mexico.
Officials like Kristi Noem and Sid Miller have noted that ranching families in areas like the Rio Grande Valley are able to "do their jobs in peace" again because caravans of migrants are no longer crossing their land.
The administration's "zero releases" policy and a sharp drop in encounters—reaching historic lows by late 2025—have been credited with restoring order for local citizens.
The administration has introduced several measures specifically aimed at strengthening the ranching industry
Launched by the Department of the Interior and USDA, this plan streamlines grazing permits, reduces bureaucratic delays for infrastructure, and aims for "no net loss" of grazing capacity on federal lands.
Farmer and Rancher Freedom Framework: This initiative focuses on protecting producers from "federal bureaucracy" and "agricultural lawfare," while safeguarding land from unnecessary federal projects.
Financial Assistance: Programs like the Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) provided billions in relief to help producers manage losses from inflation and market disruptions.
I'm sure that the Arizona Border Guards would be thankful for the thought, but I can see why they have endorsed Donald J. Trump for President.
With these kind of decisions being based on this kind of intelligence, can you imagine how the Iranians thought about Secretary of State Kerry giving in on their "agreements" like cash for hostages (ransom) and the nuclear deal?
Now President Trump is taking care of the Iranian crisis.
Like St. John the Baptist, we need to call out our Politicians especially when they support the killing of the unborn, the Gay Agenda, and their war on Christianity. Pray for America.
