đșđžđ« âStrongest Border in Historyâ: Trump Declares Victory in Primary Address
On December 17, 2025, President Trump delivered a major address to the nation, highlighting what he called the âwidest border enforcement in U.S. history.â From record-low crossings to new cartel crackdowns, the administration signaled a complete shift in U.S. immigration policy.
Top 5 Takeaways from the Speech:
đ Record Lows: Trump claimed illegal crossings reached historically low levels, reporting zero illegal immigrants admitted to the U.S. in the last seven months.
âïž Mass Deportations: Since January, 605,000+ people have been deported, with an additional 1.9 million âself-deportedâ under the new administration.
đ Fentanyl Declared âWeapon of Mass Destructionâ: Fentanyl is now officially designated a WMD, giving the Pentagon and DOJ greater authority to target cartels.
đ« Travel Bans Doubled: The administration expanded travel restrictions to 20 additional countries, doubling the previously banned list.
𧱠âCatch and Releaseâ Ends: Trump confirmed that everyone crossing illegally will be immediately detained and removed, officially ending the catch-and-release policy.
These measures are framed as the foundation for the 2026 agenda, including full sanctions on targeted oil tankers and additional tax reforms.
