Latin American migrants are hightailing it back home in droves, expressing deep regret for crossing illegally into the United States under President Donald Trump’s relentless border clampdown, per a Daily Caller report on Thursday. Border Patrol encounters have cratered to under 300 daily—down over 90% from early 2024—thanks to Trump’s hardline policies, leaving migrants stranded and despairing, per the February 26 story. For conservatives, this is a roaring triumph, proving Trump’s America First agenda is crushing Biden’s border catastrophe.

Karla Castillo, a 36-year-old Venezuelan, voiced her anguish after abandoning her U.S. bid, per El Mostrador.

“I regret a thousand times having left Chile,” she said. “The opportunity did not arise.”

John Orozco, another Venezuelan, echoed this, turning south after six months in Mexico failed to secure a CBP One slot, axed by Trump, per the Caller. Darien Gap crossings plummeted from 34,839 in January 2024 to 2,159 in January 2025, per Panamanian data, as Trump’s troop deployments and Mexico’s cooperation choke the route, per the report.

This reversal follows Trump’s January blitz—slashing crossings with Title 42’s revival, troop surges, and axed migrant perks, per Border Patrol stats. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations underscore the push, per her “Hannity” remarks.

“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”

Posts on X hailed the shift—one user wrote, “Migrants fleeing—Trump’s border fix works!” Another added, “Biden’s chaos undone—thank God!”

Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s open borders let 8.5 million illegal immigrants flood in, per CBP, while deficits soared past $35 trillion, per Treasury data, and inflation—up 20% since 2021, per BLS—gouged families. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, DOGE’s $55 billion cuts, and last week’s NSA cult purge, per Townhall, signal the fix—secure borders, cut waste, and prioritize Americans. Shelter closures in San Antonio and NYC, per the Caller, cement the collapse.

The left’s wailing, with Democrats and activists decrying “cruelty” and plotting lawsuits, per a Thursday AP report. Too bad—conservatives see this as justice for taxpayers, not heartlessness. Legal challenges loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Thursday block on Education records—but Republicans stand firm. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, ensuring America’s borders lock tight, as voters demanded in 2024.

Orozco’s $900 southward journey, per El Mostrador, reflects economic migrants—not asylum seekers—fleeing Trump’s wall, with 2 million annual encounters under Biden crashing, per CBP’s 2023 peak. Allan Baitel, a Panamanian, told the Caller, “The carrot has disappeared—no reason to head north.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives are ready to defend this rout, ensuring America’s sovereignty stands tall.

This border slam is a towering victory for America, crushing illegal waves and restoring control under Trump’s unflinching command.
