Part 2/7:
In an interview with Ainsley Earhardt, Chief Michael Banks of the U.S. Border Patrol expressed his elation over the latest figures. He described the decrease from 62,000 to zero as "phenomenal," underscoring its implications for national security. This change reflects the efforts to secure the border, with the agency nearing operational security levels never witnessed before.
Moreover, Chief Banks revealed that just two days prior, the Southwest Border had recorded an unprecedented low of only 141 illegal entries, all of whom were apprehended and will not be released into the country. This significant drop reflects diligent enforcement of existing immigration laws, achieved through strong leadership supportive of the Border Patrol's objectives.
