Speaking at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Saturday President Donald Trump discussed the severe decline in illegal immigration under his presidency.
Following his assurance that a wall would be constructed along the Mexican border, President Trump spoke over chants of “build that wall,” saying “we have done so well at the border, a lot of people are saying, wow, maybe the president doesn’t need the wall.” He continued, “we need the wall to stop the drugs and human trafficking. We need the wall. In just 100 days, we have taken historic steps to secure our border, imposed needed immigration control like you have never seen before” said President Trump.
He continued, “[We have] properly screened and vetted those seeking admission into our country. They are going to come in because they love our country. We are not taking them otherwise. We are operating on a very simple principle that our immigration system should put the needs of American workers, American families, American companies, and American citizens first.” The crowd cheered as Trump continued, “I have appointed a great military general, John Kelly, to lead the Department of Homeland Security.”
President Trump then outlined one of his many achievements since his election, “since my election, we have already achieved an unprecedented 73 percent reduction in illegal crossing on our southern border. The greatest reduction in the history of our country, and we just started. The world is getting the message, if you try to illegally enter the United States, you will be caught, detained, deported, or put in prison, and it will happen.”
Trump’s comments on the decline in illegal immigration were corroborated by Politifact earlier this month, his statements on the issue receiving a “True” rating. The website states, “Trump said illegal immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border is ‘the lowest in 17 years.’ Border Patrol data support Trump’s claim. In March, Border Patrol recorded 12,193 apprehensions at the Southwest border, the lowest in at least 17 years.”
“As I campaigned across the nation,” said Trump, continuing his speech, “I met with the grieving mothers and fathers of children who had been killed, viciously killed, violently killed by illegal immigrants, and I made them a promise. We will protect American lives. Your family member will not have died in vain.” The crowd erupted into applause and were quieted by Trump, “last week, we opened an office to support the victims of immigration crime called VOICE to make sure that no American victim is ever again ignored. It’s not going to happen.”
The event has since ended, but a full live stream can be seen below:

President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania today in celebration of his first 100 days as President. The rally looks like it's going to have a big attendance, with many people lining up for hours ahead of time so they could get a seat. As with his previous rally, the details for this one were posted on his presidential campaign website. The rally begins at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, but people were lined up hours earlier at the PA Farm Show Complex & Expo Center. In fact, John shared this photo with Heavy, showing how the Expo Center was already getting packed with people even an hour before the rally began. Trump is attending this rally instead of attending the traditional White House Correspondent's Dinner, which is happening tonight too. Trump said during his speech that the crowd size broke the all-time record for the arena.

President Trump on Saturday skipped the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to mark his 100th day in office doing what got him there: taking his populist message directly to an adoring audience, this one in Pennsylvania, the state he credits with delivering his surprise electoral college win in November.
Trump revived the racially charged speech that infused his election campaign, lashing out at immigrants and promising to jail or deport anyone who doesn’t belong in the United States.
He also promised to restore coal mining jobs, though without detail about how that would happen.
"We are not going to let other countries take advantage of us anymore. From now on it's going to be America first," Trump said.
The rally unfolded like a greatest hits of Trump's most polarizing refrains. He prompted loud cheers for promising to keep radical Islamic terrorism out of the country, deport immigrants in the country illegally and build a wall along the border with Mexico.
When Trump hammered the media, people in the crowd turned around to jeer and boo at reporters typing on their laptops in the press area on the arena floor.
Among the many signs seen in the crowd were: "Promises made. Promises kept," "Drain the swamp" and "Women for Trump." Young girls could be heard chanting "We want Trump!" The sound system played a rendition of "My Way.”

The rally coincided with an event staged by one of Trump’s favorite foils, the White House press corps, which held its annual dinner Saturday night in Washington — one of the first such dinners in more than three decades not attended by the sitting president.
Trump’s speech started at the same time as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but administration officials said it wasn’t scheduled to take attention away from the event, sometimes called the “nerd prom.”
“I respectfully suggest that it’s not just about the Correspondents’ Dinner; it’s rather an opportunity for him to talk to voters that elected him and what he’s been able to accomplish in the first 100 days,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Friday.
The media were favorite targets of Trump during the campaign, and he went after them Saturday in Pennsylvania, once again accusing them of reporting “fake news” and adding that they deserve “a big, fat, failing grade.” Alluding to the dinner he was skipping in Washington, he predicted the black-tie event would be a “very, very boring” affair.
"I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from Washington's swamp, spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people, right?" the president said.
The rally took place at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center, 50 miles from where Trump made his 100-day compact with voters in October, and Trump recounted what he touted as major accomplishments in the first 100 days of his presidency.
Chief among them: He placed a conservative Justice Neil M. Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, revamped orders to allow immigration agents to deport more people in the country illegally, and initiated a program to roll back regulations on businesses and environmental protection.
But more than half of his 30-plus executive orders simply told Cabinet agencies to study a problem and come up with recommendations. Trump hasn't repealed and replaced the Affordable Care Act or torn up the North American Free Trade Agreement or the Iran nuclear deal, as he pledged last year.
After talking tough on Chinese trade practices, he has agreed not to name China a currency manipulator as he promised. And his efforts to ban travelers from select Muslim-majority nations have been blocked in court.
The White House announcement last week of an ambitious plan to cut taxes was rolled out as a one-page document with bullet points, not as a policy proposal to Congress.
Trump, who had no government or military experience before he ran for president, acknowledged this week that running the government is tougher than he expected.
"This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier," Trump told Reuters in an interview Thursday.
During that interview, he handed out maps showing which parts of the country he carried in November. His advisors say he is still fixated on the daily news cycle and often asks how a decision will play in the media before he chooses a path forward.
The 100th day of his presidency on Saturday also triggered protests around the country by tens of thousands of demonstrators who denounced the administration's rejection of scientific claims on climate change and its action on other environmental issues.
Participants in the People's Climate March said they objected to Trump's rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants, among other things.
Trump is the first sitting president to skip the White House Correspondents' Dinner since Ronald Reagan, who didn't attend in 1981 because he was recovering from being shot the previous month.
At the 2011 dinner, Trump was roasted by then-President Obama after several weeks of the billionaire businessman's appearing on news shows spreading the false conspiracy theory that Obama wasn't born in the United States. People close to Trump, who was in the audience that night, have said his humiliation that night spurred him to seriously consider a White House bid.
