-- Read the December 21st declaration of national emergency --

Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption

Linked just for reference, I appreciate your link as well.

I read it.

I haven't read the several statutes it cites.

• International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA)
• National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA)
• Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (Public Law 114-328)
• Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)) (INA)
• 3 USC 301 - General authorization to delegate functions

The actions being taken in the EO are fairly clearly stated, and none of them amount to "build the wall."
