Is it purely because of the executive branch though? Or does congress or the senate have some say (even if just by veto)?

It's the judges (mostly district courts) blocking most of what little Trump attempts to do, as well as what was already on the books years before he came into office. Take the IIRAIRA for example, passed while Clinton was president, it has what most normal Americans would call sensible border enforcement, i.e. Aliens are fined for attempting to enter, those already here illegally cannot attempt to come again for ten years and most importantly, INS (disestablished in 2003, also a part of the problem it that it's split up between three agencies, ICE, Customs and Border Patrol and US Customs and Immigration) agents could decide an illegals case without judicial oversight, freeing up the backlog that allows the judge to give the illegal a court date, which 90% don't show up and are never seen again (until they kill someone, are arrested and given deportation orders, which they also don't abide by). Courts basically say now we have to review every case individually, they can't even be told to stay in Mexico while we process their fabricated asylum claims. They rush the border agents, allowing the drug runners and smugglers to pass while the agents are busy processing them.

I'm convinced that if orchard owners, dairy farmers, and all other employers of illegal labor were actually penalized, we wouldn't have nearly as big of an illegal immigration problem.

True, also they fact that they are allowed to use our hospitals, schools, and collect gibs is an abomination.
