Washington, Dec 3 (NationPress) US President Donald Trump informed his Cabinet that the nation has achieved “zero” illegal entries for six consecutive months. This announcement comes as senior officials discuss extensive measures against visa fraud and undocumented immigration, a topic of significant interest to Indian nationals, H-1B visa holders, students, and families in the diaspora.

On Tuesday, Trump declared that his administration has effectively addressed what he termed “the worst border crisis in world history,” stating, “For six months in a row, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States. You believe that, zero.” He claimed that illegal border crossings have “plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded.”

Trump credited the Border Patrol, ICE, and military for resolving a situation he previously described as “nasty.” He remarked, “Now they don’t even come up. Nobody comes up. It’s an easy job. I made your job a lot easier, because they know they’re not going to get through.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem stated her department is focused on reversing practices from the previous administration. She accused Joe Biden of “using this department to invade the country with terrorists” and of “opening up the borders” to anyone reaching US entry points. “So it’s our job to get them out,” she added.

Noem announced that the administration has already deported “two million people” who were illegally in the country, explaining, “People that were here illegally, you've removed from our country and sent home, and we're going to send more home for the holidays.”

She noted that the department is preparing to hire its “10,000th ICE officer,” and has processed “hundreds of thousands of applications” for recruitment. Additionally, she highlighted that the flow of fentanyl across the southern border has decreased by “over 56 percent,” and emphasized maritime interdictions, stating that the US has “saved hundreds of millions of lives with the cocaine you've blown up in the Caribbean.”

Noem also mentioned that Trump instructed her to investigate state-level visa abuse, describing the situation as severe: “Fifty percent of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Governor Waltz either is an idiot or he did it on purpose. And I think he's both, sir.”

She claimed that individuals were “brought in there illegally that never should have been in this country,” including those who “said they were married to somebody who was their brother,” and who had “signed up for government programs,” taking “hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers.” Trump responded affirmatively: “Good.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the Justice Department is supporting DHS enforcement, mentioning successes in immigration-related litigation. “We're winning nationwide injunctions,” she noted, while referring to actions against sanctuary cities and prosecutions related to violent crimes.

For diaspora communities—especially Indian students, tech professionals, small business owners, and families awaiting visa decisions—the administration's rhetoric indicates a persistent focus on enforcement, stricter scrutiny of state programs, and more assertive federal oversight of entry routes.

Trump reiterated that robust borders are crucial to national recovery, declaring, “We take people in, but they have to come in legally.” He emphasized, “We had millions of people coming in a year, millions. Now we have zero for six months.”

Advocates for the Indian American community express concerns that the current policy landscape impacts everything from H-1B pathways to student visa approvals and family immigration timelines. The administration's emphasis on fraud prevention, vetting, biometrics, and removal operations is likely to remain a key theme as we approach 2026.
