President Trump has expressed the idea of halting claims of asylum by the caravan through executive order. There is also a rumor that he may try to temporarily contest the “birthright” part of the 14th amendment the same way.
House speaker Paul Ryan sharply criticized President Trump for considering this. My advice to our president is to sign as many executive orders, regardless of the criticism, as it takes to thwart the efforts of those wanting to illegally gain entry into this country, regardless of political opposition, even from Republicans, who have also embraced this misnomer until the proper legislation can be passed to correct the problem.
After all, President Obama enacted “the dream act” or D.A.C.A. through executive order, and it has held up well to criticism, although it has not been legally enacted through the legislative process.
