Texas Attorney General Ken Paxtonrepeatedly praised the Trump administrations efforts to crack down on illegal immigration in his Friday interview with The Daily Caller, saying the administration has had unprecedented success withstopping illegal crossings, which Paxton said is an important issue to Texans.

Theyve done more than any administration in the history of the world, Paxton said when asked if he thought the Trump administration had done enough to keep Trumps campaign promises regarding illegal immigration.(RELATED:Texas AG: Media Downplaying Loretta Lynch Influencing FBIs Clinton Email Investigation)

So Im pretty happy that theyve done so much in such a short period of time so it would really be difficult for me to criticize them on that issue because theres no comparison with any other administration as far as how quickly and effectively theyve approached the problem on many different fronts.

Later, when asked what he consider the most important thing the Trump administration has done so far, Paxton again pointed to the White Houses work on immigration.

I think this immigration issue has been huge. Just because theres such a risk of terrorist threat, the fact that those numbers are so far down from where they were, I think that has been remarkable how quickly they got to that and how effective theyve been in impacting those numbers, he told TheDC.

The flood of illegal border crossings has dramatically decreased underTrump, who has embraced a much tougher stance on immigration than his predecessor, Barack Obama. While immigration-related arrests within the US have surged, the number of apprehensions at the border has plummeted.

Figures released by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection this week show that the number of illegal aliens apprehended at the US-Mexico border last month dropped 64 percent compared to the same period last year.

Paxton said its encouraging to see the number of illegals crossing the border drop so dramatically.

Obviously we always have more room to improve but theyve done a really good job with that issue, he said.
