Trump Scores Next Big Border Win, Dismantles Biden’s “Processing” Centers in Texas
Trump Scores Next Big Border Win, Dismantles Biden’s “Processing” Centers in Texas

Let’s all face it. Joe Biden’s “plan” for the border crisis was a total joke. For four long years, Americans watched in horror as our southern border became a turnstile, with processing centers popping up like fast-food franchises. Was it incompetence or by design? When you spend $10 million a month on facilities that basically streamline illegal entry, it starts looking less like failure and more like the point.

But what a difference an election makes! President Trump hasn’t wasted a minute fixing Biden’s border catastrophe. No committees, no task forces, no years of deliberation – just immediate, decisive action that has already produced staggering results. The border crisis that Democrats insisted required complex new legislation has suddenly evaporated. Funny how enforcing immigration law actually fixes the problem, huh?

Bulldozing Biden’s Border Boondoggle

The Trump administration has begun the satisfying work of dismantling the Biden-era migrant processing centers along the southern border. These soft-sided facilities, which essentially served as welcome centers for illegal aliens, are now being torn down as border crossings have plummeted under President Trump’s leadership.

From ‘Breitbart’:

“Due to the unprecedented drop in apprehensions of illegal aliens as a result of President Trump’s leadership, CBP is reducing the number of temporary, soft-sided processing facilities where illegal aliens have been held in specific locations along the southwest border,” said Pete Flores, Acting CBP commissioner. “CBP no longer has a need for them as illegal aliens are being quickly removed.”

Construction crews are already hard at work dismantling these centers in Texas locations including Donna, North Eagle Pass, and Laredo, as well as facilities in Yuma and Tucson, Arizona, and San Diego, California. In the Rio Grande Valley Sector, Border Patrol even held a flag-retirement ceremony at the Donna processing center – a symbolic end to Biden’s open-border era.

America’s Wallet Gets Immediate Relief

While Democrats were busy telling us these processing centers were “humanitarian necessities,” they conveniently forgot to mention the astronomical price tag. According to sources within Customs and Border Protection, each of these contractor-operated shelters cost American taxpayers nearly $10 million monthly. That’s right – MONTHLY.

The closure of these facilities is expected to save hardworking Americans between $5 and $30 million per month for each dismantled center. Multiply that by the six centers being closed, and we’re talking about potential savings of up to $180 million every month. Suddenly, fiscal responsibility is back in fashion at the border!

94% Drop: The Trump Effect Speaks Volumes

The reason these processing centers are no longer needed? Border encounters have fallen off a cliff. Agents apprehended just over 8,300 migrants in February – a stunning 94% decrease from the same month last year under Biden, and 84% lower than December, Biden’s last full month in office.

During his recent joint address to Congress, President Trump couldn’t resist pointing out what many conservatives knew all along. Looking directly at the Democrat side of the chamber, he stated, “The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.”

The White House even celebrated Breitbart’s coverage of these historic border numbers, tweeting “Promises Made, Promises Kept.” Unlike the previous administration, this one appears to actually mean it when they talk about border security.

With the dismantling of these processing centers, resources that were previously tied up managing the influx of illegal aliens can now be redirected toward actually securing the border. As CBP Commissioner Flores noted, this will “speed CBP’s progress in gaining operational control over the southwest border” – something that seemed impossible just a few months ago.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trump’s border policies have are so successful, he is dismantling “processing” centers Biden put in Texas.
  • Dismantling Biden’s migrant processing centers will save taxpayers up to $30 million monthly per facility.
  • The border crisis didn’t require new legislation after all – it just required a president willing to enforce existing laws.
