Trump’s New Policy To Defend the Border

President Trump is rolling out a new initiative to secure the Southern border, which could mean an extended travel ban. The Daily Wire reports:

The Trump administration is reportedly considering imposing a travel ban on Guatemala unless the nation takes significant action to stop the seemingly endless flow of illegal migrants who head north from the troubled state and reach America’s southern border.

“In a move reminiscent of the pressure campaign President Trump launched against Mexico over immigration, the travel ban is the most explosive option of three that the administration says its considering against the Central American nation, according to White House and other U.S. sources familiar with the plans,” NPRreported. “Trump charged Guatemala with backing out on an immigration deal with the United States.”

“If Guatemala doesn’t take significant action to help protect our borders, than we will, of course, look at all manner of solutions to the serious crisis we face, whether it’s a travel ban, significant actions on remittances and/or tariffs,” a White House official told NPR.

The move comes after Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar blocked the Trump administration on Wednesday from imposing its new asylum policy. The policy would have likely drastically reduced the number of migrants flooding the U.S. southern border.

This will likely be challenged by courts, but if the travel ban is carefully crafted, it could put pressure on Guatemala to cooperate on halting the immigration flow.

Is it Constitutional for District Judges to block Presidential orders? Has anybody challenged that? I, for one, do not believe that the lesser judges in this country have the legal authority to block any Presidential order …. the Supreme Court.. most likely. Why are not law suits being filed against those judges?? Why?

The only authority that can trump the POTUS is Supreme Law within the US Constitution. The Supreme Court would have to prove the POTUS executive orders were unconstitutional. It’s the job of POTUS to enact orders to protect the nation regardless of public opinion.
