During its first year in office, the Trump administration made dramatic strides to address the supply side of illegal immigration by securing our borders, detaining those who were apprehended, and halting the abuse of our asylum system. 

To build on that success, we must also prioritize dramatically reducing the number of people living in the country illegally, estimated to have been at least 18.6 million when the president took office. The enormous illegal immigrant population in the United States also costs American taxpayers roughly $150 billion per year.
