Turns out barbed wire and boots on the ground still work. Who would’ve guessed? In the San Diego sector of the U.S.-Mexico border, the U.S. Marines have teamed up with Border Patrol to put an end to the chaos—and the results are staggering. Arrests from illegal crossings have plummeted from 1,400 per day to just 30, thanks to a serious military upgrade that includes spiked concertina wire and 750 federal troops backing up enforcement.
This is the kind of “common sense” border security that Democrats in D.C. have been insisting for years was either impossible, inhumane, or somehow “racist.” But it took President Trump’s leadership and a serious reality check to finally get military muscle down there—and wouldn’t you know it, illegal aliens are suddenly thinking twice before hopping the fence.
According to local ABC News, San Diego’s border wall now looks like something out of a war zone, complete with razor-sharp spiraling wire that can slice skin on contact. It’s placed along the top and bottom of the wall from San Ysidro to Otay Mesa, two major crossing points. The goal? Make it so visually and physically uninviting that it sends a clear message: “The border is closed.”
That’s not just rhetoric. San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jeffrey Stalnaker made it clear: “If you cross illegally at the San Diego sector, you will face consequences.” This is a far cry from the Biden-era “come on in” approach that turned every border town into a crisis zone.
Now, the presence of 750 Marines and Army personnel is giving law enforcement what it’s needed all along: support. The military helped build and install the concertina wire and is providing 24/7 surveillance to back up Border Patrol. And yes, this has forced smugglers to shift tactics—Stalnaker warned that maritime smuggling is on the rise as a result of land-based deterrents working so well.
And here’s the cherry on top: locals in San Diego are already noticing fewer illegals clogging up public services. A viral video showed a once-overwhelmed doctor’s office now completely empty, as illegal aliens vanish to avoid ICE and Border Patrol raids.
This is what happens when we stop tolerating lawlessness and start enforcing our border like a sovereign nation. President Trump’s policies work—and this is living proof.
