President Trump claims February’s illegal border crossings were the lowest on record, attributing the decrease to his presidency. While February’s apprehensions were the lowest in the past 25 years, data from the 1930s, during the Great Depression, suggests even lower numbers.

President Trump’s border security policies are showing dramatic results as illegal crossings plummet to historic lows, but new controversies have emerged about potential sabotage of enforcement operations and legal challenges from Mexico.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection in February apprehended 8,347 migrants attempting to cross the southern border, the lowest in history, as arrests of undocumented people in the nation are rising.

Customs and Border Protection informed that there were fewer than 8,500 border crossings in February, the lowest amount for any month in recorded history. The concrete figure was 8,347, a 94% drop compared to the same month of last year.
