Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

Dear Members of Congress

I am writing to commend President Donald Trump for his remarkable success in securing our southern border and to urge you to take immediate action to fund his $10 billion border wall expansion plan. Since taking office on January 20, 2025, Trump has reduced illegal crossings by 94%, bringing daily numbers down to just 200 on February 22 from a peak of 11,000 under President Biden in December 2023. This is a direct result of his decisive policies: banning asylum claims at the border, deploying 5,000 troops to reinforce security, and terminating the ineffective "catch and release" practice. These measures have deterred illegal immigration and disrupted smuggling networks, proving Trump's commitment to American safety.

The administration's achievements are undeniable. Border Czar Tom Homan, a seasoned expert, reports these are the lowest crossing numbers in his career. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has overseen a drop in encounters from 141,000 in February 2024 to 15,700 since Trump's inauguration. Deportation operations have removed 7,200 illegal immigrants in just nine days, and Mexico's increased patrols show the global impact of Trump's leadership. This progress began even before his term, with an 81% reduction in December crossings after his election, reflecting the trust Americans and the world place in his approach.

However, this success is not yet permanent. The current border fencing, spanning 700 miles with 438 miles built during Trump's first term, still has gaps that smugglers exploit by cutting through or tunneling under. A completed physical wall is essential to lock in these gains. Historical evidence supports this: the 23-mile wall in Yuma, finished in 2007, reduced crossings there by 82%. Trump's $10 billion proposal, outlined in his March 4 address, would extend and strengthen this barrier, ensuring long-term security. Without it, the border remains at risk, and the few crossings that persist—like those affecting Texas ranchers reporting property damage—could grow again if enforcement weakens.

Congress has the authority and duty to act. You control the federal budget, and this is the moment to support the President's plan. Trump has turned a border crisis into a victory, reducing public anxiety and restoring order. Funding the wall is not just about maintaining low numbers; it's about building a lasting defense against future threats. Delaying this investment could jeopardize everything achieved so far. I urge you to vote for the $10 billion allocation, hold hearings to confirm the wall's effectiveness, and give Trump the resources to finish what he started. He has delivered results—now it's your turn to ensure they endure.

Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
