Texas Governor Greg Abbott has attributed the recent decrease in migrant encounters along the Texas-Mexico border to his Operation Lone Star. However, immigration and foreign policy experts argue that the reasons for this decline are more complex.

Reports suggest that while Texas's measures have played a role, they are not the sole reason for the changes observed.
