In reality, Trump's tough on illegal immigrants approach has drastically reduced the number of illegal border crossings compared to Biden's term.
So, it seems that "people living in the country illegally" doesn't have to just be a fact of life, if there are federal policy changes that can radically alter the number of people who illegally enter the country.

- crote 1y agoIllegal border crossings are a distraction. The vast majority of "illegal immigrants" entered legally and overstayed their visa. This makes "radically altering the number of people entering illegally" a fairly meaningless achievement in practice. For all we know those very same people who would have crossed the border illegally are now spending the extra money to enter legally and overstay: same number of incoming "illegal immigrants", but via different pathways.
