U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records in March reveal the southwest border saw the lowest number of crossings ever last month, with just 7,180 recorded. By comparison, the monthly average border crossings under former President Joe Biden was 155,000.
TRUMP STEAMS AHEAD ON THESE CAMPAIGN PROMISES AS HE REACHES 100 DAYS IN OFFICE
"I would say in his first hundred days, he's more than Joe Biden did in his four years — securing the border alone," Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., said before adding, "These are things that they said that couldn't be done unless legislation was passed. All they needed was a different president named Donald Trump."
"Tom Homan has been amazing, and he's a great spokesperson for securing the border. Obviously, the first role of government is to protect the people, and if you don't have borders and laws, you're not a country," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Illinois, said as she praised Trump for fulfilling his campaign promises to the American people.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said Trump has accomplished ‘a lot of destruction’ during his first 100 days.
"Well, he's accomplished a lot of destruction of our federal agencies. He's broken the constitutional separation of powers. He's destroyed the foundation of due process, which is essential to our freedom here in America. He's very successfully driven up costs for all Americans. And he's put our small and large businesses at risk with this chaotic tariff plan. I guess he's accomplished a lot, all of it damaging to America," Merkley told Fox News Digital.
Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., couldn't name a single accomplishment of Trump's second term, instead focusing on his criminal conviction in New York City last year.

"His greatest accomplishment is just getting elected again when he's a convicted felon. That will go down in history as pretty amazing," Moulton told Fox News Digital.
And while Democrats maintain that Trump's first 100 days have been "damaging to America," Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said, "It's certainly getting a lot of people to pay attention to politics right now."
