However, this appears to be the case simply because fewer people are currently attempting to enter the USA illegally.

Any source on that? Because I would have thought by definition there's no easy way to track people illegally crossing the border (assuming that's the method of illegal immigration we're talking about). But the fact that Biden was deporting more (based on one month, granted) suggests he was at least more effective at addressing those that were found to have done so.

It's what the linked article presents as the likely explanation.

I mean, it's what a spokesperson suggested. I think we maybe take that with a pinch of salt.
