Unauthorized Immigration



Dealing with unauthorized immigration is one of the key policy issues in the Trump administration, which has prioritized that unauthorized residents are not welcome in the US.  This policy has two main components (1) stopping illegal border crossing by building a wall and (2) deporting unauthorized residents already in the US who have committed any crimes.


This visualization analyzes and provides a composite picture of the unauthorized immigration.  The issue is emotionally complicated but let’s hope that the new administration will find the right balance between law enforcement and compassion for outsiders soon.
