Rescuing America from Biden's Border Catastrophe: How Trump Slammed the Door Shut
The U.S.-Mexico border—a vital line of defense for American sovereignty, safety, and prosperity—spent four agonizing years under Joe Biden’s watch as a chaotic free-for-all, inviting an unprecedented invasion that overwhelmed communities, empowered cartels, and drained taxpayer dollars.
I filmed the invasion during Biden’s entire term.
Fast-forward to October 2025, nine months into President Donald J. Trump’s triumphant return, and the border is locked down tighter than ever before, with illegal crossings cratering to levels unseen in over half a century.
Backed by ironclad data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and hard-hitting reports from outlets like Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), this piece lays bare the devastating failures of Biden’s open-borders agenda and celebrates Trump’s no-nonsense restoration of law and order.
Biden’s Border Betrayal: An Invited Invasion and National Humiliation
From day one in January 2021, Biden’s radical reversal of proven Trump policies—halting border wall construction, gutting the lifesaving “Remain in Mexico” program, and unleashing catch-and-release chaos—signaled to the world: “Come on in, America pays the bill.” What followed wasn’t migration; it was a full-scale assault on our borders, fueled by Biden’s weakness and amplified by global instability from Latin America’s socialist hellholes.
CBP’s unvarnished stats paint a picture of disaster: Southwest border encounters exploded to nearly 11 million from fiscal year (FY) 2021 through FY 2024, a staggering 27-fold surge from Trump’s FY 2020 low of about 400,000.
Daily averages hit a shameful 15,000—enough to fill a mid-sized stadium every single day—turning border facilities into squalid holding pens and local towns into war zones for law enforcement.
Fiscal year breakdowns expose the escalation:
FY 2021: 1.7 million encounters, as Biden’s amnesty promises lured the first waves.
FY 2022: 2.4 million, with families and kids weaponized by smugglers exploiting lax enforcement.
FY 2023: A record-shattering 2.5 million, propped up only by the temporary Title 42 lifeline that Biden dragged his feet on until it expired in May 2023.
FY 2024: A tepid drop to 1.5 million, thanks to a desperate last-minute executive order after years of denial—but still a 300% jump from pre-Biden norms.
Of those 10.8 million nationwide encounters, over half were military-age single men from terror-linked nations, while cartels raked in billions trafficking fentanyl that killed 100,000+ Americans yearly.
DHS data shows billions in humanitarian parole handouts and interior releases, with processing backlogs ballooning to millions—courtesy of sanctuary-city enablers and a do-nothing Democrat Congress.
Border heroes in El Paso and Eagle Pass begged for help as migrants overran streets, schools, and hospitals, while fentanyl poured in unchecked.
By early 2024, Border Patrol confirmed 7.2 million gotaways—ghosts in the machine, courtesy of Biden’s deliberate neglect. This wasn’t compassion; it was capitulation, endangering every American family.
Trump’s Border Triumph: Strength, Speed, and American Victory
Enter President Trump in January 2025: No apologies, no excuses—just decisive action that put America First.
Declaring a national emergency on inauguration day, he resurrected “Remain in Mexico,” turbocharged deportations, surged 10,000 troops to the line, and twisted Mexico’s arm with tariff threats until they cracked down hard. The result? A border so secure it’s practically a fortress, with zero releases into the heartland for over five months straight.
As Trump himself declared, “We’ve achieved the most secure border in U.S. history—something the radical left said was impossible.” CBP and DHS reports confirm the miracle: FY 2025 encounters (October 2024–September 2025) plummeted to a mere 237,565—the lowest since 1970, an 84% nosedive from Biden’s FY 2024 disaster.
The Biden hangover in early FY 2025 accounted for over half that total; post-January, the floodgates slammed shut. Monthly miracles:
February 2025: Just 6,319 USBP apprehensions—96% below Biden’s obscene ~229,000 monthly average.
March 2025: Under 7,000, dwarfed by Biden’s two-day spikes.
June 2025: The all-time record low—a whisper compared to the roar of Biden’s era.
July 2025: 4,600 encounters, 91.8% fewer than the previous July’s madness.
September 2025: A minor 33% blip to 8,386, but still 95% below Biden baselines—five months of total victory.
In hotspots like El Paso, encounters tanked 89%, freeing agents to hunt cartel kingpins instead of playing babysitter.
DHS hails Trump’s tech upgrades—drones, AI towers, and wall expansions—as game-changers, while Mexican patrols, coerced by Trump’s leverage, intercepted thousands before they even tried. Fentanyl flows? Crippled, with seizures, focusing on high-impact ops. Communities breathe easy: Eagle Pass locals call it “ghost town good”—no more midnight stampedes, no more taxpayer-funded NGO bonanza.
The Stark Verdict: Biden’s Weakness vs. Trump’s Warrior Resolve. Under Biden, the border was a sieve: 229,000 monthly invaders on average, peaking at 300,000+ in December 2023—a humanitarian hoax that enriched traffickers and terrorized Americans. Trump? Sub-10,000 monthly, a 95%+ rout, with 11 million Biden-era encounters crushed to 237,000. No more gotaways, no more releases—just swift justice. Biden’s “compassion” was code for chaos; Trump’s deterrence is the gold standard of real leadership.
Nuance? Biden’s late “tough guy” act borrowed from Trump’s playbook, but it was too little, too late—after irreversible damage. Leftist activists whine about “cruelty,” but real cruelty was letting in rapists, killers, and fentanyl peddlers. Northern border drops of 64% in August 2025? Bonus points for Trump’s global deterrence.
The Road Forward: Keeping America Safe Under Strong Leadership
As of October 27, 2025, Trump’s border is a beacon of conservative triumph—55-year lows per CBP, billions saved, lives protected. Mass deportations are underway, targeting the Biden backlog without apology. Global push factors linger, but with warriors like Trump in charge, cartels quake and America thrives.
Check CBP’s dashboard or DHS updates for the ongoing wins. The radical left’s open-borders fever dream is over; under Trump, the land of the free stays that way—by force if necessary. God bless the agents, the wall, and America.
