Unfortunately, attempts to illegally cross the border were recorded both during Christmas and on Christmas Eve, and virtually every day our border patrols detain violators who plan to illegally cross the border. In fact, schemes are also being exposed, organizers and facilitators who help people in such illegal trips are being exposed. But the trend towards a decrease in such attempts continues, and this has been recorded in recent days, and in general, this trend has been going on since August. Every month, and December is no exception, the dynamics is exclusively towards a decrease in the number of people planning to illegally cross the border
