Look at the graph. Are we better now than we were in 2008? Yep.

As for other points.... Yes, people still cross the border illegally, but most of them just drive across through a check point. And yes, the deficit always increases - Why is Trump going to be any different?
All those employment stats are bullshit. What counts is wages. Losing one paying $50k and replacing it with two paying $20k is a loss of $10k to the economy. Figures are an example. Principle is sound as Income tax drops so borrowing climbs.
