Since taking office, he launched a costly military mission at the Southern border, deported undocumented migrants with alleged gang ties to a mega prison in El Salvador and has floated sending more people to Libya, Rwanda and Saudi Arabia.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Immigrants make up a larger percentage of the population in states along the East and West coasts and the Southern border.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            California, New Jersey and New York \u2014 all Democratic-led states where immigrants make up the highest share of the populations \u2014 have challenged Trump\u2019s immigration moves, including filing a lawsuit against his birthright citizenship executive order and against the administration\u2019s requirements tying federal grant funding to state participation in ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            People migrate to the United States from all over the world, but the country of origin for the largest number of immigrants is Mexico \u2014 more than double the next two countries, India and China, combined.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump has said illegalimmigration to the United States amounts to an \u201cinvasion,\u201d using the term in his executive orders and agency memos.
