Forced deportations of everyone here illegally can't keep up with those coming in.
Build the wall. Bring troops home and put them on the border. Put people who knowingly hire illegals in jail. Stop providing any freebies for illegals.
That's all that needs to happen to solve this problem, and they are all reasonable.
Great you and your fellow "winners" will now be able to get and take all those cushy jobs these folks have been doing at or less than minimum wage. Enjoy and don't forget the sunscreen!
You forgot to mention without illegals in our neighborhoods schools will improve, crime will decrease, home values will increase, emergency rooms won't be packed, car insurance rates might even decrease. Oh wait, none of those things fit your pro ILLEGAL alien left wing agenda.
What other reason? They'll use any fairytale to extract more money from the people. Personally I don't believe a word this admin tries to see the public. Its all alternate facts and figures.
The 40% figure the must be a lie too. Phew, for a minute I worried the wall was not needed.
2 words: supply and demand. If illegal immigration from Mexico dropped like a rock cause Mexicans were quite happy staying home, the coyotes would HAVE to either cut their prices OR their kind will start killing each other to stay in business.
This supply demand thing doesn't apply to the coyote business. How much would it cost to get someone smuggled from behind the Berlin wall? It's been a while but I assure you it wasn't cheap. How many really wanted to flee. Not many but fewer people does not reduce the risk. High risk, high payout, even for one.

Like I said: if illegal immigration from Mexico DROPPED, the demand for coyotes would also drop. Many East Germans wanted OUT of the old East Germany and, would pay the $$$ since it was risky as hell.

If you start arresting those who hire illegals and start cutting off government benefits you don't have to do anything else.
When do you suppose that will start? About the same time Obama ends the wars?
50% chance of being right, 50% chance of being wrong.
Illegal immigration could be steadily climbing for all we know.
Stops dropped by 40%.
That could mean illegal immigration has found a substantial flaw in the system and are exploiting it or it is responding to external forces (immigration policy, depletion of capacity/market satiation, alternatives to the US rising (Brazil, maybe?)).
But if Barack H. Obama was in office, and you saw the same numbers, you would be blowing the trumpets and leading a parade for him, correct?
