On March 5, US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard visited the Texas-Mexico border to assess security and policy effectiveness.
Vance announced that President Trump aims to complete the southern border wall by the end of his term, noting a significant drop in illegal crossings attributed to enhanced enforcement using artificial intelligence.
Additionally, the Trump administration imposed a 25% tariff on Mexico due to its handling of border issues, aiming to pressure the Mexican government to improve border security, particularly against illegal drugs like fentanyl.
Trump's early plan to expand the Guantanamo Bay detention facility for up to 30,000 illegal immigrants faces challenges due to budget constraints and logistical issues, with current facilities lacking adequate resources.
