how much has illegal immigrant decreased since trump took office?
The Department of Homeland Security has begun rolling out President Donald Trump's plans for a wider crackdown on people coming into the United States illegally. Here they are. The federal government said the number of people caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has decreased 40 percent since Trump's inauguration.
Our ruling. Trump said, Illegal immigration costs our country more than $113 billion a year.. Trump presented this figure as a hard fact to make his case, and not as the rough, high-end estimate that it is. The figure matches a 2013 study by a group that wants to reduce immigration, FAIR.
