McCaul Applauds Reduction in Border Crossings: “Deterrence is Back"

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) — chairman emeritus of the House Homeland Security Committee — released the following statement on reports of a significant reduction in illegal border crossings under the Trump administration. 

“Deterrence is back. Under the Trump administration, Americans are once again witnessing the federal government doing its job — enforcing the law to secure our border and protect the homeland. A strong border is essential to our national security, and I commend the brave men and women of Border Patrol for their steadfast work. The numbers don't lie: Strong leadership and tough policies are closing in on the flood of illegal immigration empowered by the Biden administration — finally making American communities safe again.”
