As long as the federal government isn't cracking down on corporations who hire illegals for cheap labor, it will continue to be a problem. Trump, a huge benefactor of immigrant labor and outsourcing himself, will do nothing where it actually matters.



H1B reform is a currently unfulfilled campaign promise. Where specifically has Trump made progress in this area? Two bipartisan bills have been introduced in Congress on this matter (Lofgren (D), Grassley (R), Durban (D) and were killed or left to flounder by the party hierarchy.

The travel ban does nothing substantive on this matter with regard to the elite, and that's ignoring the fact that it was a poorly-executed gong-show that signifies profound incompetence. There has only been twitter threats of taxing companies who leave, which results in them keeping a token amount of jobs domestically in exchange for ransomed tax breaks and kickbacks, as occurred with Carrier and that car company.
Is that a bad thing? Yeah, devastated communities voted for trump. You hate drug addicts or something? I want to help my fellow man
