2019-02-18 The President's Power Over Aliens, Immigration, International Emergencies
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any
class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the
interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such
period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or
any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the
entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

This is an extremely broad power. It was the subject of the recent case
of Trump v. Hawaii which is attached. Read the case.

Based on the authority of the Prez related to excluding aliens and this
authority, the Prez in my view has grounds to erect a wall. His only
problem is getting the funds.
