Illegal immigration is low.

1. As of August 2020, the number of alien [undocumented immigrant] apprehensions reported by the U.S. Border Patrol reduced by almost 50%.

During the fiscal year 2019, America’s largest federal law enforcement agency apprehended a total of 859,501 illegal [undocumented] migrants. However, these illegal immigration numbers were cut down to almost half (349,140) by the end of August 2020. The significant reduction can be attributed to the massive decline of individuals moving to the U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic started in March.

2. 75% of Americans agree that illegal immigrants can stay in the country legally provided that they meet certain requirements.

The majority of polled U.S. citizens showed a positive response to the question of how undocumented settlers should be dealt with. Three-fourths of the surveyed participants attested that if these illegal migrants can meet specified requirements, they should be allowed to stay.

3. Current illegal immigration statistics present that a total of 147,866 immigrants to the U.S. have been repatriated under the rapid-expulsion proceedings since March 2020.

In late March, the Trump administration issued emergency health orders, also known as Title 42, which allowed the CBP to expel migrants to their country of last transit. The emergency measures aimed to prevent a greater surge of coronavirus by reducing the number of captives in crowded border cells.
