Based on the numbers, President Donald Trump’s second term has been an unmitigated success as we just passed the eight-month mark since his inauguration. 

First number: Zero. 

That’s the number of illegal migrants released into the country in the past two months. And it’s not because Trump’s wall has been completed, but because the president, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and border czar Tom Homan put down the hammer in warning anyone thinking of entering the country not to do so or risk being arrested and deported. 

Second number: 250,000 

For context, that’s the number of migrants who crossed into the country under former President Joe Biden in December 2023. Overall, according to Customs and Border Protection, 10.8 million migrants were encountered entering the country illegally under the Biden-Harris administration, with millions more “gotaways” entering and not being encountered. 

Third number: Zero 

That’s the number of murders that occurred in the last 10 days in Washington, D.C., all thanks to Trump’s decision to employ National Guard troops in the district.
