Illegal border crossings in Arizona have witnessed a staggering decline, with numbers showing a 66% reduction compared to the peak reported during the Biden administration.

New data reveals that illegal entries were at their lowest since President Donald Trump’s first year in office, marking a significant turnaround for border security.

Under Trump, the measures taken to secure the southern border effectively curbed illegal entries to historically low levels.


In fiscal 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection documented 65,813 apprehensions in Arizona, a stark contrast to the more than 775,000 illegal crossings seen in fiscal 2023.

This dramatic decrease correlates with the deployment of enhanced border security measures initiated by the Trump administration, which included not only increased personnel but also logistical support from the National Guard and Coast Guard.

The Tucson and Yuma sectors—once among the hardest hit—have now seen the implementation of effective policies that allowed Border Patrol agents to engage proactively rather than merely reactive.

Testimonies from Border Patrol leadership confirm that Trump’s strategies have profoundly altered the landscape of border security operations, nullifying the drastic increases in illegal crossings that characterized the previous administration's tenure.

With smarter technological implementations along with physical barriers being erected, the border is transitioning from a porous zone rife with illegal crossings to a more controlled and monitored area.

The stark differences in enforcement between the Trump and Biden years underline the effectiveness of Trump’s “America First” policies.

By emphasizing rapid removal of illegal entrants and investing in resources that fortify the border, the administration signaled a pivot away from leniency that had emboldened smuggling operations and heightened risks of criminal infiltration.

As the country continues to address immigration issues and border security, the successful strategies employed during Trump’s presidency exemplify the potential for effective governance rooted in accountability and safety.

The current focus must remain on maintaining these gains, ensuring that border control continues to prioritize law and order, safeguarding American communities from the threats posed by unchecked immigration.

Trump's re-elected administration, alongside Vice President JD Vance, promises to build on these successes, cementing a legacy of security in immigration policy that reflects the interests of American citizens.

As the 2026 elections approach, border security remains a key issue for many voters, highlighting the critical need for leadership that prioritizes national sovereignty and the rule of law.
