President Donald Trump took office in January and quickly moved on his campaign vow to seal off the southern border.

But he faces an uphill battle carrying out the “largest-ever” deportation operation of illegal immigrants.

The Washington Examiner gives Trump an “A” for following through on his promise to shut down illegal entries between the ports of entry and the border.

Immigration expert Aaron Reichlin-Melnick says asylum-seekers are effectively unable to seek refuge at the border now.

ICE lacks the funding to house as many immigrants in detention as the White House would like to arrest.

ICE arrested an average of 882 illegal immigrants per day in 2011 , the highest of former President Barack Obama ’s eight years in office.

Trump scored higher in how he handled immigration in his first two months in office than any other issue, according to a national poll released 2 1/2 months into his term.

However, his approval has begun to shift against his favor.

Four national polls conducted in April show that most of the public is no longer behind Trump .
