<p>ABC News host Jonathan Karl, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, admitted during an interview on Sunday that the president has scored a significant victory in securing America&#8217;s borders after four disastrous years under President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>Karl made the acknowledgement while interviewing Border Czar Tom Homan on &#8220;This Week&#8221; about the state of the southern border.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have now more than 10,000 U.S. troops deployed to support your mission at the border and two Navy destroyers that have been deployed to patrol the waters around the border as well,&#8221; he said. &#8220;How long do you expect you are going to need that level of force, military force, at the border, because, as you just mentioned, the numbers are way down?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean they are dramatically down,&#8221; he admitted.</p>
<p>Homan responded by highlighting some of the metrics showing just how drastically the numbers have dropped.</p>
<p>&#8220;Illegal entry is down 96 percent,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;What&#8217;s most impressive is known got-a-ways. Known got-aways under Joe Biden were on average 1,800 people a day crossed the border, weren&#8217;t apprehended, weren’t processed, weren&#8217;t vetted. We don&#8217;t know who they are or where they came from. That&#8217;s a huge national security issue. Known got-a-ways are down to, you know, double digits now.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But we&#8217;re not going to be satisfied until that know got-a-way is down to zero,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We’re going to secure the border and make sure no public safety threats or national security threats cross the border and get away.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the administration was pouring more resources into maritime patrol to secure coastal areas.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re going to secure the border, both the land border and the maritime border to make sure these public safety threats and national security threats won&#8217;t get into the country,&#8221; he said, adding that the administration will have &#8220;total operational control of the border.&#8221;</p>
