Written by Teunis Felter

U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports that the number of people apprehended along the Southwest border continued to fall in March, after showing a sharp decline in February as well. The decrease comes at a time of year when apprehensions are usually on the rise.  Border Protection officials credited the efforts of DHS staff along the border and “the support of our leadership in the White House.” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement the decrease demonstrated that President Trump’s anti-immigration policy stances are “already showing results.”
