Border apprehensions have been nearly halved since President Donald Trump took office, according to government figures released Wednesday.

“The drop in apprehensions shows a marked change in trends,” Security of Homeland Security John Kelly said in a statement. The Customs and Border Protection figures show that apprehensions dropped 40 percent between January and February.

“This change in the trend line is especially significant because CBP historically sees a 10-20 percent increase in apprehensions of illegal immigrations from January to February,” Kelly said. The drop from January to February was from 31,578 apprehensions to 18,762 apprehensions.

Kelly added, “Additionally, we are seeing an increase in the fees charges by human smugglers along the U.S. southwest border.” The fees for “coyetes” have increased from $3,500 to $8,000 in certain regions since Trump won the election in November, according to Kelly….

Border apprehensions were nearly zero under rat obama as the Border Patrol was ordered to assist and not apprehend the illegal criminal invaders. Veterans die waiting for medical care, but the POS illegal alien invaders get the very best care, RIGHT NOW, and for free. Does anyone remember that rat obama spent over $3 million in mexico, per year, telling mexicans how to get on benefits once they come to America?
Remember…the anti-American democrats are trying to create a voter base so large, it can never be voted out. That is why they own the illegal aliens..uh..new democrat voters. Remember…rat obama told the illegal aliens to “go vote. No one is coming after you.” democrats are the enemy.

Winning the Islamist War: OPEC gets the squeeze
To fight Islamist terrorism, we must destroy their habit. Where they live, and how they eat.
No Islamist money= No Islamist habitat= No Islamists
That’s the same way you eradicate cockroaches and rats. Destroy their habitat.

Three great things just happened:
1. Trump approved the Keystone XL pipeline
– Canadian oil will add almost 1 million bbl/day to US supply
– This will reduce the Saudis to only 1%-3% of total US imports
– This will shrink to nothing as US oil output rises (see graph 1)

2. US oil is getting cheaper, because fracking is getting cheaper (see graph 2)
– Fracking requires complex, on-line horizontal drilling, helped with computers
– Moore’s law says computing power doubles every 24 months,
– Fracking is now breaking even at about $30 – $40 per barrel
– The Saudis would have to cut the world oil price to $25 to beat this

3. The Saudis are going broke. They recently cut supply with OPEC partners and Russia
– Prices rose a bit, then plunged, when US oil inventories soared (graph 3)
– The Saudis tried meeting with frackers to threaten them with deeper cuts
– But the Saudis are already in serious economic trouble at $50 per barrel

No Islamist money= No Islamist habitat= No Islamists

graph 3. OPEC and the Russians cut oil exports to force prices up. But US production forced the price back down.

I’m sure it’s a typo, but I do believe you meant “coyotes.”
