The article analyzes the decline in Donald Trump's job approval ratings on immigration, despite some popular policies. It argues that successful political leadership relies on policy, rhetoric, and implementation. While Donald Trump's administration has seen a drop in illegal border crossings and undertaken deportations, aggressive tactics by the United States===United States Department of Homeland Security, United States===United States Border Patrol, and United States===United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, coupled with Donald Trump's denigrating rhetoric, have soured public opinion.
