White House celebrates Trump's first 100 days, touts strong illegal immigration policies

President Donald Trump has accomplished more in his first 100 days than any president in U.S. history, and the White House celebrated that milestone this week.

According to Fox News, the White House focused the celebration on President Trump's successful crackdown on illegal immigration, noting the massive decrease in border crossings along with the mountain of executive orders aimed at strengthening the southern U.S. border.

During a White House press briefing on Monday, border czar Tom Homan appeared with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to highlight the administration's successes in combating illegal immigration.

The two also pointed out how former President Joe Biden essentially left the southern border wide open, causing the biggest illegal immigration disaster in history.

What was said?

"We are in the process of carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history," Leavitt said. "After four years of being vilified by the Biden-Harris administration, our heroic ICE officers can finally do their jobs."

Homan also said that he believes former President Biden and his administration "unsecured the border on purpose."

"Look, I started on the Border Patrol in 1984. I've been at this for over 40 years. I've worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. Every president I've ever worked for took border security seriously because you can't have national security if you don't have strong border security," Homan said.

He added, "We've gotta know who's coming, what's coming, where its coming and why its coming in, right?"

Fox News noted:

Homan noted that "even President Obama and President Clinton" addressed border security to some extent. But Biden, he said, is the "first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured the border on purpose."

Bragging rights

Homan also talked about the staggering decrease in illegal aliens coming across the border.

"When 96% less people are coming [across the border], how many women aren't being sexually assaulted by the cartels?" Homan said.

"How many children aren't dying making that journey? How many women and children aren't being sex-trafficked into this country? How many known and suspected terrorists aren't making it into this nation? How many pounds of fentanyl isn't getting into this country to kill young Americans?"

There's no doubt that the second Trump administration is far exceeding the successes of its first term.

A big part of that is who Trump hired this time around.

" A free people [claim] their rights, as derived from the laws of nature."
