Illegal border crossings have dropped to almost zero. The policy is working. Private ICE detention centers don’t get any money if people don’t cross the border illegally.

There is absolutely no reason to think illegal border crossings were ever much higher than they are today.

This does not seem to be a disputed fact that there were a massive increase in the number of border crossings under Biden.

Border apprehensions have dropped to historic lows. That does not mean border crossings have dropped to historic lows. I also don't fully trust data coming out of this administration.
