Mayor of Yuma, Arizona Declares Border Crisis Over (for That Town), Credits Trump's Border Control Efforts

I got this via Tim Pool. He mentioned a HuffPo article bewailing the idea that "Trump got his wall," not meaning the actual wall-wall we all still need, but at least border enforcement that delivers on the idea of a physical border.

The mayor of the border city of Yuma, Arizona has withdrawn his city's state of emergency that was declared in response to this year’s migrant crisis at the southern border -- saying that the crisis has diminished in recent months.

"I am grateful to be able to withdraw the Proclamation of Emergency due to the Trump Administration's policy changes that diminish the flow of the migrant family units to the Yuma area and prevent releases into the Yuma community,” Mayor Douglas Nicholls said in a statement earlier this month.

Nicholls declared a state of emergency in April near the peaks of the border crisis, when the number of migrants apprehended or turned away at the border soared to over 109,000. That number would hit 144,000 in May, but then decline sharply in the months since then, down to about 42,000 in November. At the time, Nicholls said the state of emergency was "due to the migrant family releases overwhelming the local shelter system."

The administration has credited a slew of measures for bringing down the numbers of migrants approaching the border. Most significantly is the ramping up of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) over the summer -- which sees migrants returned to Mexico as they await their hearings. So far more than 53,000 migrants have been returned to Mexico under MPP. That has been coupled with asylum agreements with countries such as Guatemala and El Salvador that sees migrants sent there to claim asylum instead.

When Mother Jones is panicking like so:

"President Trump Has Created an Environmental Crisis at the Border"

"With his wall obsession, President Trump has created an environmental crisis at the border," said the Arizona congressman Raúl Grijalva.

...I take that as some evidence that these efforts are working.
