Not a good idea to do that. That was the problem with Obama.

Yes, I believe that Schumer’s suggestion is a trap. Signing an executive order will usurp Congress’ authority (which Congress is happy to have usurped), can be a violation of the authorities laid out in the Constitution, and leaves Trump with only two options: Catch and Release (reverting to the Obama policy) or simply making up law on his own...a terrible precedent that continues Obama’s practices.

We just get that much closer to a totalitarian system...not to mention I can see the Democrats turning on a dime and bringing up impeachment again over him violating the Constitution’s separation of powers. This is not a good idea.
