President-elect Donald Trump criticized Mexico and Canada for allowing migrants to cross US borders, but federal data shows that the incoming administration will inherit a relatively quiet border. Trump expressed intentions to impose serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada to address the influx of migrants and drugs crossing into the US.
Contrary to Trump's assertions, recent data indicates a decline in migrant crossings along the US-Mexico border following executive actions taken by President Joe Biden last summer to tighten asylum policies. This trend has also been observed along the US northern border.
