While Mr. Trump made immigration a top issue in the campaign, his administration inherited a relatively calm southern border, with illegal crossings there at a four-year low. Unlawful crossings into the U.S. plunged in 2024 from the record highs in the previous three years due to a Mexican crackdown on migrants. They fell further after the Biden administration enacted restrictions on asylum last June.

Yes, illegal immigration numbers fell when Trump started beating Biden to a pulp over the issue, and the sock-puppet finally started taking it seriously. And it's a four-year low: post-Trump.
