“After four years of failed border security policies by the Biden Harris Administration, President Trump has implemented a zero-tolerance approach to illegal activity and crossings along our Northern and Southern Borders,” said Jobe Dickson, President of the Border Security Alliance. “The drastic decrease in encounters since President Trump returned to the White House is a testament to what we already knew: the Border Can Be Secured.
