President Trump’s Go-Kart Executive Order on Immigration

Imagine a car salesman selling you a Lamborghini and delivering a go-kart instead. That’s what the last week has felt like.

We were thrilled to see President Trump’s tweet saying he would suspend immigration into the country to protect American workers as the Chinese coronavirus ravages the economy. Not only would such a desperately needed pause on immigration be popular with about 80 percent of the American people, it would also stand on strong legal footing. Keep in mind that the Supreme Court reaffirmed the president’s authority to do such a thing in 2018.
