Illegal Border Crossings Hit Stunning New Low in March

How low can the border crossings go?

Illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border fell yet again in March, hitting another record — with border agents barely seeing 7,000 migrants enter illegally.

That’s down 94% from the 137,000 people who poured across the border in March last year. It follows February crossings of roughly 8,300 illegal migrants — the lowest in at least 25 years.

And it’s all a result of “the Trump effect,” multiple Homeland Security sources told The Post Monday.

Migrants are “scared there are consequences now,” said one DHS source, adding “everyone who is caught is charged and does time.”

Most of the roughly 7,000 crossings took place in the San Diego and El Paso border sectors, sources said.

If the border crossings continue to stay at these levels, the US could see the number of illegal migrants hit a low not seen since 1968.
