Trump's election has significantly reduced illegal immigration in and of itself, and he's not even president yet.
the mere threat of deportation will deter a lot of people. even if you can't actually deport them all (you can), deporting even 1% at a time will inspire a lot to voluntarily leave.
Turns out when people are scared of the Feds busting in their door and forcefully bussing them home while confiscating all their shit, they try to get ahead of it by taking all their ill gotten gains and bouncing.
Its literally crime and law enforcement 101. You can't catch every criminal, but every criminal should feel like they could be the X% that is and be terrified of how much they'll lose if so.
