Operation Wetback had the same effect. Several times more ran, than were ever caught. All that we ever had to do to solve the problem was stop doing nothing.
You also have to stop paying to import them, which is what DOGE did.
We still need a lot more. Frankly, what's happening is that the judiciary is basically preventing a 'positive feedback loop'. ICE is deporting people, but not at the rate to manually throw people out of the country. They are deporting enough to cause people to self-deport, which does ICE's job for them, which means that ICE can move from terrorists with deportation orders to terrorists without deportation orders. Then to regular criminals, then to fraudulent refugees, then to visa overstayers, ect. But the judiciary is basically preventing ICE from exploiting that positive feedback loop, and convincing the illegals who haven't committed extra crimes to hang on because ICE can't focus on them yet.
