| UNITED STATES ex rel. KNAUFF v. SHAUGHNESSY. "At the outset we wish to point out that an alien who seeks admission to this country may not do so under any claim of right. Admission of aliens to the United States is a privilege granted by the sovereign United States Government." "Thus the decision to admit or to exclude an alien may be lawfully placed with the President, who may in turn delegate the carrying out of this function to a responsible executive officer of the sovereign, such as the Attorney General. The action of the executive officer under such authority is final and conclusive." |
So why doesn’t Trump do a new executive order declaring a 30 day halt to all refugees entering the country? On the 29th day, do it again. And so on.
