Vance attributes immigration decline to Trump's policies

Vice President JD Vance visited the U.S.-Mexico border on March 5, 2025, highlighting a significant drop in illegal border crossings. He attributed this decline to President Trump's focus on immigration, contrasting it with the previous Biden administration's approach. During the visit, Vance was accompanied by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. They toured the area and discussed the need for a comprehensive government response to border control, extending beyond traditional agencies. Vance noted that arrests for illegal crossings fell 39% in January compared to December 2023. He mentioned the deployment of additional troops to the border and emphasized the importance of addressing drug trafficking and cartel influence in Mexico.
