Trump's presidency has prominently featured illegal immigration as a key issue, with border security emphasized during the 2024 election. A Gallup poll revealed strong voter concern about immigration. Following his re-election, Trump enacted several immigration policies that resulted in a notable decline in illegal crossings at the southern border. Federal agents reported significantly fewer apprehensions or turnaways of undocumented migrants in early 2025 compared to the same timeframe in 2024 under the previous administration. These actions align with Trump's campaign commitments and reflect voter priorities regarding immigration policies.
According to a Gallup poll conducted less than a month before Election Day 2024, 72% of American voters said immigration was either "extremely important" or "very important" to them.
Since President Trump took office in January 2025, new border policies have coincided with a sharp reduction in illegal crossings. As a result, federal agents have apprehended or turned away far fewer undocumented migrants so far this year than they did over the same period in 2024 under President Biden.
