Here's the overall data:

Let’s look at those numbers in a broader context. We’ll begin by comparing the latest monthly figure for apprehensions at the Southwest border in March with previous years
dating to fiscal year 2000.
During that time, border apprehensions were at their highest in March 2000, with 220,063 people captured at the Southwest border. The numbers for March have fluctuated a bit, but have been on a general downward trend since 2006.
We can look at the yearly totals — by fiscal year — going all the way back to 1960.
Those figures show a peak of 1,643,679 apprehensions in fiscal 2000, with a similar high in 1986. Again, there has been fluctuation since 2000, but a general downward trend since the mid-2000s.
In fiscal 2016, President Barack Obama’s last full fiscal year in office, total apprehensions on the Southwest border were 408,870. That number went down to 303,916 for fiscal 2017. Compared with the peak of 1.6 million in 2000, that’s an 82 percent drop.
You've been lied to in order to make you angry at brown people so that you'd be more likely to support or at least tolerate racist unAmerican activity from our executive branch.
Illegal immigration isn't getting worse in the US. It's declining.
I'm not saying the border does not need security, but you have been sold a false bill of goods.
