Joe Biden’s open border nightmare is officially over.
The numbers just came in and they’re historic.
And Tom Homan delivered one earth-shattering report that left Joe Biden shell-shocked.
Border crossings hit lowest number in recorded history
Border Czar Tom Homan just dropped the most incredible news any American could hope to hear about the southern border.
Federal agents caught only 6,070 migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in June.
That’s not a typo.
"President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it. We have never seen numbers this low. Never," Homan wrote on X Tuesday.¹
But here’s the part that’ll really get under the skin of every open-border Democrat who spent four years telling us this was impossible.
Not a single one of those 6,070 migrants was released into the United States.
Zero.
Homan made sure to hammer that point home because he knows exactly how different things are under Donald Trump’s leadership.
"THE TRUMP EFFECT – Total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 was 6,070. That is less than a single day under Biden. As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days. Also, none of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO," Homan wrote.¹
That sound you’re hearing? That’s the collective gasp from every Democrat politician who spent years claiming border security was somehow impossible to achieve.
The Trump effect sends shockwaves across the border
The former ICE chief didn’t mince words about what’s causing this dramatic turnaround.
It’s what he calls the "Trump effect" – and it’s working exactly like President Trump promised it would.
"God bless the men and women of the US Border Patrol and God bless the men and women of ICE. The interior arrests and consequences help to drive down illegal immigration. The TRUMP EFFECT keeps America winning," Homan wrote.¹
Think about how staggering these numbers really are.
Think about this stunning comparison: Biden’s border saw more illegal crossings in just 48 hours during June 2024 than Trump’s entire month of June 2025.²
Just to put this in perspective: on one single Saturday, Border Patrol agents encountered only 137 migrants trying to cross illegally.
That’s fewer people than what Biden’s border processed in a couple of hours on his worst days.
"That is less than a single day under Biden. As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days," Homan explained.¹
Biden’s border disaster gets exposed by the numbers
But here’s what really shows the dramatic difference between the two administrations.
Under Biden’s watch in June 2024, more than 83,000 migrants flooded across the border.
But that’s not even close to the worst of it.
The numbers from June 2023 were even higher – over 99,000 crossings.
And June 2022? A staggering 192,000 people crossed illegally.²
President Trump’s administration achieved something that seemed impossible under Biden: stopping virtually all releases of illegal border crossers into American communities.
Every single one of those 6,070 people who tried to cross illegally was detained – not a single release.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem summed up what’s really happening here.
"The world is hearing our message: the border is closed to law breakers. Under President Trump, our Border Patrol agents are empowered to do their job once again, secure our border, and protect the American people," Noem wrote on X Wednesday.²
This isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet.
This represents families who can sleep safer at night, communities that aren’t being overwhelmed by illegal immigration, and Border Patrol agents who can finally do the job they signed up for.
President Trump set his first border record back in February when crossings dropped to 8,347 migrants – already a massive improvement from Biden’s chaos.
But nobody expected the numbers to keep plummeting to historic lows like this.
Democrats can’t spin away from this success
Every Democrat who spent years claiming Trump’s border policies were "inhumane" or "impossible" just got served a reality check they’ll never recover from.
They told us a wall wouldn’t work.
They said "Remain in Mexico" was cruel.
They claimed that catch-and-release was the only "humane" option.
They were wrong about everything.
President Trump proved that strong border security and law enforcement actually work when you have leaders with the backbone to implement them.
The "Trump effect" that Homan talks about isn’t some mysterious phenomenon.
It’s what happens when the world knows America finally has a president who means business about protecting our sovereignty.
Word travels fast on the migrant trails that the days of easy entry and automatic release are over.
When consequences become real, behavior changes.
That’s exactly what President Trump promised during his campaign, and that’s exactly what he’s delivering.
While Democrats spent four years making excuses for Biden’s border disaster, President Trump spent his first months in office proving that securing America’s border isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable when you have real leadership.
The numbers don’t lie, and they’re telling a story that should make every American proud of having a president who puts America First.
