In the first six months of his second term, President Donald Trump has achieved tremendous results for Americans. His predecessor, President Joe Biden, purposely allowed the southern border to remain open as millions of illegal immigrants streamed into the country. President Trump has addressed the problem and secured the border.
While the massive influx has stopped, the President has directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to remove violent criminals from the country. From the beginning of the year until June 24, it is estimated that 100,000 illegal immigrants have been deported. Of that total, approximately 70% have had criminal records.
Border security will receive an even bigger boost with the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) that will allow 10,000 more ICE agents to be hired, along with 3,000 new Border Patrol officers. The bill also includes $46.5 billion to complete the border wall and $23.8 billion to bolster the U.S. Coast Guard. Overall, $165 billion in funding for the Department of Homeland Security was secured.
