Yes and yes. It is expected that everyone would be concerned and he would be removed from power. But it has become accepted enough that there is not enough outrage to do so only because of abuse of executive orders.
- anigbrowl 10y agoThe law does grant the President wide latitude over immigration matters, so the executive branch is totally within its legal rights to issue orders of this variety. Politically it's another question. Advocates on immigration reform have pointed out for years that the immigration laws are both impractical and unjust, and there's majority agreement about this. but every effort at reform has been stymied by a nativist minority that is opposed to any immigration, which bloc was successfully (albeit unexpectedly) marshaled into a winning majority under the US' rather arcane Electoral College system. As we now see, the political impetus is to a highly militaristic central state, abandoning as many administrative functions as possible and dropping those into the laps of the several states where they will either be burdensome or ignored.
