That's zero in case you think I made a mistake: Promise Kept: Trump Blocked Every Border Migrant in May Great job by the Border Patrol backed up by strong and decisive President Trump. Promises made, promises kept: Under the Biden administration, nearly all migrants were released as they crossed the southern border. After they were released, migrants would get jobs in order to pay off their huge smuggling debts and would also encourage the next wave of migrants to make the trek to the border. In contrast, under the Trump administration, migrants are detained and prevented from being able to pay off their smuggling debts, which discourages other migrants from also making the journey. Breitbart News reported in early May that the number of migrant apprehensions in April had fallen “by nearly 13 percent from the previous month and more than 95 percent compared” to the previous year. In response to the report from the New York Post, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) highlighted that this “is what real leadership looks like on the border.” “PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT,” Johnson wrote in a post on X. “Another CLEAR example of strong, America First Leadership by @POTUS.”
