Nathaniel Moran's Address on President Trump's Second Term Achievements

Published | Video Starts at 01:28

He is serious about securing the border, and thanks to his leadership, it is closed in February 2024. Just a year ago, there were over 180,000 encounters during that one month at the southwest border. But In February of 2025, in the first month of President Trump's presidency, that number dropped to just over 8,000. That is 25 times less the number of encounters, and that's because of strong leadership. As I said, President Trump wants to enforce immigration laws rather than undermining them. (01:28–01:44)
