The administration has tried every tool at its disposal to tighten the nation's immigration policies — including the so-called "public charge" rule that makes it harder for immigrants to get green cards or visas if they use a wide range of public assistance. It also has pushed to ramp up enforcement, carrying out the biggest workplace raids in at least a decade.
At the same time, many of the administration's efforts have been stalled or blocked by Congress, the courts, or state and local officials. Below is a look at what the White House has accomplished on immigration — and what it hasn't.

Offhand I can think of several others that the article does not list, like increasing the number of immigration judges, deploying the Military (in many ways), systematically attacking trafficking networks, and gaining significant cooperation from Central American Countries and Mexico.
The Trump Administration has been working hard.
It is truly amazing what the President has managed to accomplish despite the opposition from BOTH parties.
The GOP is still fully invested in completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) and blocking the citizens from stopping it.
The biggest stall has been the Coup.
Never in American history has something like that been attempted or tolerated. John Wilkes Comey and his co-conspirators would not have walked in 1865.
The net effect is that the all important immigration re-start has been badly muted.
History won’t be kind to them if the aliens succeed in seizing the levers of power in America and sink the country.
Brazil with nukes is not what we had in mind 240 years ago.
Yes, he has, and he is fought at every turn by everyone.
And a hostile press...
And then he did everything he could to make it worse.
Let’s reshape migration, and we should start with 12 million illegals migrating back to their real homes. Then deport the rest of the illegals. No exceptions.
I imagine the legal immigrants that belong here will feel far more welcome if they are not constantly mistaken for criminals like the 12+ million who need to be deported.
“The Trump Administration has been working hard. “
Wait and see what Jarad and Ivanka do.

The majority of citizens will not vote for the crazy liberals, so they are importing some “migrants” that will.
That about sums it up!
Drain the Swamp - NO ACTION
Says it all. No matter what he has accomplished in the face of almost universal obstruction, not draining the swamp has to count as a failure.
One other thing that could be done is an all out effort to eliminate the drug cartels in Northern Mexico. This would require the Mexican and American military and law enforcement agencies working together.
The cartels are also responsible for drug and human trafficking along with so much more. Take them out and maybe, just maybe, Mexico might have a chance to fight its incestuous relationship with corruption.
Without the human smugglers and traffickers; the illegal immigration problem would decrease as well.
