This is some of the best news we’ve heard yet!
Illegal immigration has plummeted since President Trump took office.
At the Southwest border, illegal immigration is down 61% percent under the lawful eye of President Trump.
Much more winning!
Thank you, President Trump!
From Washington Times
Mr. Trump took a victory lap over the “record reductions” in illegal crossers, saying he is already saving Americans’ jobs by preventing them from having to compete with unauthorized workers.
“Down 61 percent since inauguration. Gen. Kelly is doing a fantastic job,” Mr. Trump told a labor union gathering in Washington, praising Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general.
Mr. Kelly is scheduled to detail the numbers Wednesday to the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which is investigating the situation on the border.
Testifying to the committee in a first hearing Tuesday, former Border Patrol Chief David V. Aguilar said the percentage may be even higher than Mr. Trump teases. Compared with 2016, he said, apprehensions on the southwest border were down 67 percent through March.
Mr. Aguilar credits Mr. Trump, who has freed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to pursue illegal immigrants in the interior of the U.S. and vowed to tighten border controls.
“This administration has said we’re going to address illegal immigration. ICE has started working in the interior, unlike other times. So that message resonates,” Mr. Aguilar said.
The numbers were announced just hours before the deadline for the first round of proposals for prototypes of Mr. Trump’s border wall.
Homeland Security is asking for a 30-foot fence that can withstand up to four hours of cutting, blowtorching or other attempts to break through the barrier. Concrete walls and fencing are being sought, and companies selected will build prototypes that will be tested in San Diego.

I don't care about mythical stats on "apprehensions". It's impossible to prove a negative anyway. What I care about are the ones who are still here, all 30-40 million of them. This BS will be used to knock the wind out of the sails of any serious effort to deport the massive illegal alien population which is leeching off taxpayers dollars for housing, healthcare, food and education expenses. This has got to stop and it is amazing how much twisting and distorting is going on in the media and in government to "save" and "protect" the illegal alien gravy train.

This is great news and it only shows that people are coming because they know they can.
