At the same time, while there is a lot of talk about ICE the truth is the Trump administration is failing to handle the illegal immigration system properly. The US Border Patrol here is the key to the problem, it's understaffed and not working properly. The Trump administration is spending a lot of money to fix the problem without any results:
