America’s communities are breathing a sigh of relief. The chaos at our southern border is finally being addressed with more than just empty words. For years, everyday Americans watched in dismay as illegal crossings skyrocketed and dangerous drugs poured into neighborhoods across the country.

Remember when politicians insisted there was no crisis? When they claimed walls were “medieval” and “ineffective”? Those days are over. The adults are back in charge. And they’re not wasting any time getting results.

Vice President JD Vance made a significant announcement during his visit to the southern border in Texas on Wednesday. Flanked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Vance revealed the administration’s ambitious plan for securing America’s borders.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

During questions from reporters, Vance said “I think the President’s hope is that by the end of the term, we build the entire border wall.” He noted technological advances, including the use of cameras, to detect those approaching the border, and that “we’ve got to make sure that technology is deployed across the entire American southern border.”

This clear statement marks a dramatic shift from years of political obstruction and half-measures. Vance emphasized that the administration didn’t need congressional action to begin addressing the border crisis. “We didn’t need new laws. We didn’t need fancy legislation. We just needed a new President of the United States,” he stated.

The impact of new leadership has been immediate and dramatic. Border Patrol agents reported to Vance that crossings have plummeted from 1,500 per day to just 30 per day in some sectors. That’s an astonishing 98% reduction. No wonder agents approached the Vice President to express their gratitude.

21st Century Border Security

The Trump administration isn’t just focusing on physical barriers. They’re bringing cutting-edge technology to bear on the problem.

“So many great artificial intelligence-enabled technologies that allow us, for example — a camera, not a person, but a camera picks up somebody two miles away who’s about to come across the southern border,” Vance explained.

These technological enhancements will complement the physical wall, creating multiple layers of security. The Vice President made it clear that “we’ve got to make sure that technology is deployed across the entire American southern border.”

Dramatic Results Already Visible

The numbers don’t lie. According to statistics obtained by ABC News, apprehensions along the southwest border dropped by 85% following President Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

Border Patrol went from processing a daily average of 2,000 migrant apprehensions to just 786. That’s not a minor improvement – it’s a complete reversal of the previous administration’s failed policies.

“Every single day that we continue to keep this border safe, that means less migrant crime. That means less fentanyl coming into our communities,” Vance said. “That means more safety and security for the people of the United States of America.”

Reversing Failed Policies

The contrast with the previous administration couldn’t be starker. Biden refused to complete Trump’s border wall vision. He left hundreds of millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded wall components to rust. What a waste!

Even worse, the Biden administration reportedly spent its final weeks quietly putting unused southern border wall materials up for auction. Bidding started at just $5. Yes, you read that right. Five dollars for materials taxpayers paid millions for. Thankfully, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a court order preventing this fire sale.

President Trump wasted no time addressing the situation. In a Day One executive order, he directed Secretary Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “take all appropriate action to deploy and construct temporary and permanent physical barriers to ensure complete operational control of the southern border.”

During his first term, Trump built over 450 miles of new and replacement wall. Plans were in place for an additional 300 miles before Biden halted construction. Now, the administration aims to finish what they started.

Vance also highlighted the connection between border security and the fentanyl crisis, noting it’s “the single largest cause of death among young Americans.” He explained that the Trump administration is “doing a huge favor to the people of Mexico” by fighting cartels, warning that without action, “the people of Mexico are going to wake up in a narco-state where the cartels have more power than their own government.”

Key Takeaways:

• The Trump administration plans to complete the entire border wall by the end of the presidential term.
• Border crossings have already plummeted by up to 98% in some sectors since Trump took office.
• Advanced technology including AI-enabled cameras will complement physical barriers for maximum security.
