Border Numbers CRASH—Media Silent on Trump’s Move
Border chaos turned into record-setting security in just 100 days—yet the mainstream media can barely bring themselves to admit it, let alone explain how President Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” doctrine delivered the most secure border in American history while restoring the kind of global stability and American leverage that used to be considered common sense.
How Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” Doctrine Slammed the Border Shut
For years, Americans watched in disbelief as our borders were flung open to millions—yes, millions—of illegal immigrants and criminals, with border chaos so relentless it felt like a deliberate attack on sovereignty. Under Biden, average monthly border encounters soared to nearly 160,000, and the total number for his four years? A staggering 11 million. Fentanyl poured in, killing tens of thousands. And criminals, gang members, and potential terrorists slipped through as the government released hundreds of thousands into the interior. But in the first 100 days of Trump’s return to the Oval Office, that insanity ended. Daily border encounters have dropped by an eye-popping 93%, gotaway encounters plummeted by 95%, and total crossings are down a jaw-dropping 99.99%. March 2025 saw the lowest number of encounters ever recorded—less than 7,200 for the month. That is what happens when you enforce the law and put American safety first. Suddenly, the invasion is “over,” and the border is finally under U.S. control again. So, remind me—why did it take so long, and why was it allowed to get so bad in the first place?
While the left howls about “compassion” and “humanitarian relief,” the math doesn’t lie. Under the previous administration, 56,154 criminals with convictions or warrants were arrested at the border since 2021—a grim record, compared to 21,936 from 2017 to 2020. And ICE admits that 650,000 criminal aliens are currently counted on its Non-Detained Docket, many just wandering free. These are the real numbers, and they’re terrifying. The open border policies incentivized the worst of the worst to stream in, all while American communities paid the price. Now, with enforcement back in place, those numbers are finally turning around, but the legacy of “catch and release,” asylum fraud, and government-enabled chaos won’t be erased overnight.
America First Abroad: Conditional Aid, Real Negotiations, and Reluctant Peace
Trump’s foreign policy isn’t about playing nice in the global sandbox or writing blank checks to European bureaucrats or distant warlords. It’s about leverage—real, unapologetic, American leverage. In Israel and Gaza, U.S. support is now firmly tied to progress toward regional stability and a ceasefire, not the endless, one-sided backing that fueled decades of stalemate. Trump’s administration has made it clear: if you want U.S. help, you deliver results. The same goes for Ukraine and Russia. Instead of endless military aid with no strings attached, Ukraine now faces tough choices and real pressure to negotiate. Russia gets the message—sanctions will escalate, but so will the push for a settled peace. No more endless wars, no more U.S. taxpayers footing the bill while Europe sits on its hands.
This 4th of July, you didn't need poll numbers to see that American pride is back. With strong leadership, we’re seeing peace through strength, a secure border, and a booming economy.

And for those still clinging to the fantasy that Iran could be trusted with “constructive engagement,” the administration’s lightning strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were a wake-up call. Iran got the message—get to the table, or face consequences. President Pezeshkian signaled openness to dialogue, and a ceasefire with Israel was reached. That’s not “cowboy diplomacy,” that’s common sense—something sorely lacking in the years when America apologized for its own strength and let adversaries set the terms.
The Aftermath: Can Real Security Last, or Will Old Habits Die Hard?
While Trump’s approach has delivered short-term de-escalation in global hotspots and a historic reversal at the border, the long-term outlook is less certain. Allies are uneasy, having grown accustomed to U.S. largesse and unconditional support. Critics warn that a transactional, America-first approach could erode traditional alliances and embolden rivals. But ask any American who’s watched their community suffer under waves of illegal immigration, fentanyl, and unchecked crime—maybe it’s time the U.S. government stopped acting like a global ATM and started defending its own citizens again. The open question is whether this new era of “peace through strength” will hold, or whether the next administration will cave to the same old failed policies of appeasement, open borders, and government overreach. For now, the numbers don’t lie—security is up, chaos is down, and Americans can finally breathe a little easier. If only common sense could be made permanent policy.

But let’s be blunt: If you’re waiting for the mainstream media to admit these facts, don’t hold your breath. They’re too busy lamenting the loss of “norms” and pining for the days when global elites ran America’s foreign policy without any pesky input from the people actually living with the consequences.
