Illegal Border Crossings Down 40 Percent in February, CBP Report Says Illegal Southwest border crossings were down 40 percent last month, according to just released Customs and Border Protection numbers — a sign that President Donald Trump’s hardline rhetoric and policies on immigration may be having a deterrent effect. The wall along the southern border of the United States where it meets Mexico. (Credit: CNN) Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly himself announced the month-to-month numbers, statistics that CBP usually quietly posts on its website without fanfare. According to CBP data, the 40% drop in illegal Southwest border crossings from January to February is far outside normal seasonal trends. Typically, the January to February change is actually an increase of 10% to 20%.

Mainecat Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 "It will still take months to figure out if the decrease in apprehensions is an indication of a lasting Trump effect on immigration patterns. Numbers tend to decrease seasonally in the winter and increase into the spring months. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't know any Canadians that have cancelled or deferred trips to the US since Trump won the election or any of the immigration policies came into effect. Lots of friends that are snowbirds spending the winter in the south. Others taking vacations. I imagine tourism from places like Syria, Somalia and other similar countries may see a decline but how big a number is that anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right... look at Florida alone. Canadians spent $2.2-billion on Florida real estate last year, easily making them the Sunshine State’s No. 1 international buyer of real estate. Canada has been number one for seven straight years. The biggest impact to Canadians visiting the US has been the exchange rate. Some 21.1 million Canadians are expected to come to the United States this year, making up almost 30 per cent of the U.S.’s international visitors. The United Kingdom, 4.4 million visitors; Japan, 3.5 million visitors; and Brazil, 2.3 million visitors. Mexico is #2 at 17.9 million visitors but that may well take a hit.
