Border Crossings Have Gone Down to a Trickle in Trump's First Month: 'A Huge Changing Point'President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border just hours after he took office back in January. Now, almost a month into his second term, border patrol agents and shelter workers report the border is the quietest it has been in recent memory.
In South Texas, shelters that held dozens of migrants just before Trump took office are now down to just a few families. A shelter in McAllen said figures fell to about nine by the end of January, from 97 on Jan. 20. In San Antonio, a shelter run by Catholic Charities plans to shut its doors entirely because of a lack of new arrivals.
Border Patrol agents are also feeling the dramatic shift in border activity. For instance, in Tucson, Ariz., which was once the busiest section of the entire border, apprehensions and other encounters with immigrants have fallen to about 450 per week from 1,200 per week in late January, officials said.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
