Immigration Control supporters are concerned that President Trump has not yet eliminated President Obama's DACA program which grants legal status to a category of illegal aliens. Obama illegally proclaimed DACA in defiance of the constitutional separation of powers which gives Congress, not the president, the right to makes laws. Illegal aliens in the DACA category continue to receive permits to work in the U.S. Some immigration control activists are concerned that cheap labor interests in the Republican Party are pressuring the president not to act on DACA.

In his inaugural address President Donald Trump promised that a pro-American agenda would guide his policy-making. Said the president, "For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry. . . . From this moment on, it's going to be America First. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families."  

Some campuses are following the lead of "sanctuary cities" by stating their refusal to cooperate with federal immigration law enforcement. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) has introduced legislation to deter them from doing so. It would deny federal funds to these "sanctuary campuses."

Deportations of illegal aliens from the interior have declined by 73 percent since 2009. The Obama Administration claims that it has removed focus from most illegal aliens in order to focus on deporting illegal aliens who pose a criminal threat to the public. While the percentage of these aliens as part of the total of illegal aliens deported has sharply increased, the numbers of those criminals being sent home have steadily declined. In 2016 they totaled 60,000, down from approximately 150,000 in 2010. There are two million deportable criminal aliens now residing in the U.S.
