Trump should revisit 3 executive powers to break the border impasse

After Trump shows how severe the problem of illegal immigration is, he should lay out the following strategy, threats, and demands.

Accordingly, Trump needs to make it clear that the difference between his and Obama's use of executive action boils down to the Constitution and our existing statutes.

End DACA. How can a district judge tell the president he must continue Obama's illegal amnesty? Trump needs to tell the American people that statute tells him these people must be deported, while a district judge, forum-shopped by the Left, says otherwise.

Remember, the Judge William Alsup said very clearly that he was not saying DACA "Could not be rescinded as an exercise of Executive Branch discretion," he just disagreed with the way in which Trump got rid of it.

Democrats have no reason to deal with Trump because they are getting a permanent de facto extension of non-immigrant visas for those amnesty recipients indefinitely.

Once Trump asserts the threat to employ lawful and thoughtful executive action to stop the border invasion, he should then lay out a series of demands for Democrats covering all aspects of illegal immigration.

Trump has a bully pulpit that nobody ever had; he wields the executive powers to follow immigration law and block foreign invasions that every president has had; and his party still has control over the Senate, where he can embarrass Democrats with one vote after another.
