Last week, 18 people crossed the border illegally into Arizona hoping they could exploit a loophole in U.S. asylum policy to stay in the country.
It's part of a broader campaign that the Trump administration has quietly embarked upon to crack down on illegal border crossings.
Before Remain in Mexico went into effect in Arizona, illegals had been flooding there because it was one of the last areas they could cross and hope to gain easy entry into the U.S. "As news spread that migrants crossing the Arizona border weren't being sent back to Mexico," the Wall Street Journal said, "The Tucson border sector became the second-busiest crossing point in recent months."
"Border crossings plummeted in most other areas of the border over the same period."
Trump has been busy implementing other policies that have strengthened the virtual border wall.
Last July, the administration issued a rule denying asylum to anyone who crossed another country before getting to the U.S. border if they didn't seek asylum in that country first.
Perhaps that's because he thinks the successes he's having on illegal border crossings will dampen support for a border wall.
