President Trump claims February’s illegal border crossings were the lowest on record, attributing the decrease to his presidency. While February’s apprehensions were the lowest in the past 25 years, data from the 1930s, during the Great Depression, suggests even lower numbers.

Illegal border crossings dropped to their lowest level for the month of February in recorded history, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. In February, 28,654 encounters and apprehensions of illegal border crossers were reported nationwide – a roughly 90% drop from the number reported in previous Februarys under the Biden administration.

Customs and Border Protection informed that there were fewer than 8,500 border crossings in February, the lowest amount for any month in recorded history. The concrete figure was 8,347, a 94% drop compared to the same month of last year.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection in February apprehended 8,347 migrants attempting to cross the southern border, the lowest in history, as arrests of undocumented people in the nation are rising.
