Making the border between the United States and Mexico more hermetic to put an end to illegal immigration: this was one of the main campaign promises of American President Donald Trump. A promise largely kept: the number of people entering the United States illegally has reached a historic low since the inauguration of the current tenant of the White House in January 2025.
