  • Eye on Politics breaks down some of the biggest political stories grabbing headlines in North Texas and beyond.

The article from MSN discusses the immediate effects of former President Donald Trump's executive orders on illegal immigration at the Texas-Mexico border. Following the implementation of these orders, there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of illegal border crossings. The orders include measures like the construction of a border wall, increased enforcement, and the reimplementation of the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are processed in the U.S. Local officials and residents have observed fewer migrants attempting to cross, attributing this change to the fear of stricter enforcement and potential deportation. Additionally, there's been an increase in the presence of Border Patrol and other law enforcement, which has contributed to a more fortified border environment. However, the article also notes concerns about the humanitarian implications of these policies, with some groups arguing that they endanger migrants by pushing them towards more dangerous crossing points or into the hands of smugglers.
