Why do ANY of this at all? Illegal immigration peaked in 2007 and has been declining since. The Trump administration is trying to fix a problem that is becoming less and less of a problem every year. It's just like the economy - the economy is buzzing along (Thanks Obama) but Trump is imposing tariffs all over the place for absolutely no reason.

In the last 3 months there have been a total of 225,561 apprehensions on the southern border from Jan 1 2018 till May 1 2018 and no that is not a typo. Since Jan 2013 till May 31 2018 there has been 2,481,955 apprehensions at the southern border. But yeah there is no issues carry on as normal it only averages 45,112 a month wtf.
In FY 2018, the federal government is set to spend $3.076 billion on DHS custody operations, or $8.43 million per day on immigrant detention. Just think about that for one second. Mine and your tax dollars that we worked hard for is paying for these people who are coming here illegally. If you do not see a issue with that i do not know what to say to you.
ICE estimates an average stay of 44 days. "The DHS projects there will be an average of 51,379 people held in immigration detention centers each day in fiscal 2018, a sizable jump from the last few years, which have hovered near the low 30,000s"
