How did illegal border crossings change under Trump compared to Biden?

Under Trump's administration, border enforcement demonstrated significant effectiveness with Border Patrol encountering only 229 illegal aliens across the entire southwest border. This represents a dramatic reduction from the peak numbers seen during the Biden administration, which reached as high as 11,000 crossings per day. This stark contrast highlights that effective border enforcement is achievable with proper policy implementation and willingness to enforce immigration laws. The data suggests that the different approaches to border security between the two administrations produced measurably different outcomes in managing illegal border crossings.
