ALL THE VERY BEST PEOPLE ASSURED ME THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE:

2.2 Million Decline in Foreign Population Thanks to Record Low Illegal Immigration and Migrants Returning Home.Significantly, the illegal alien population has declined by 1.6 million over that period, indicating that the Trump administration’s increased interior immigration enforcement has had swift and large results.

Camarota and Zeigler say that although some analysts could chalk up the numbers to “a statistical fluke,” they believe the numbers are very much real and mostly thanks to the Trump administration’s record-low illegal immigration levels as well as self-deportations.

The Left and the press (but I repeat myself) lambasted Mitt Romney in 2012 for suggesting self-deportations.
