President Trump’s long-promised border wall is working. The new chief of Border Patrol, which is under U.S. Customs and Border Protection, revealed that the parts of the new “wall system” are 90% “effective,” up from just 10% before it was built, replacing a ragtag of broken fencing.

“Anywhere we built the border wall system, the first thing it does is shut off those drive-throughs. The second thing is, it shuts off massive amounts of people coming through at the same time. So, it’s forced the drug cartels, especially El Chapo’s group, Sinaloa, to shift tactics,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection Chief Rodney Scott told the Examiner.

"Rather than the 31% increase @CBP saw last February, total enforcement actions only rose by 1.3% in 2020 [430 individuals]. That brought last month's total to 37,119 enforcement actions, or 51.5% lower than last February." https://t.co/ml93ULI18u — Homeland Security (@DHSgov) March 8, 2020
