2. The rate of undocumented persons illegally entering the U.S. has been in a decline. DHS estimated that the growth of the illegal immigrant population had slowed considerably, saying the population increased by 470,000 per year from 2000 to 2007, but only by 70,000 per year from 2010 to 2015. https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/illegal-immigration-statistics/

TWO. YEARS. AGO.
So was it nonfeasance then or is it yet another load of pure bullshit now?
