If we must accept the combination of "closed borders, with safety net for all warm bodies within" instead of its superior alternative, then this seems like a reasonable way to prolong this status quo. Most unfortunate.
Which "superior alternative", and do you have proof that it's superior? This is a very divisive topic and I wasn't aware there was consensus on the "superior" solution.
Open borders, and mold all other policy to match: i.e. limit all safety nets and the franchise, abolish the federal minimum wage, remove the indenture from H1Bs, etc. The benefits of open borders far outweigh the costs of doing it right. (And those policies have their own merits anyway.)
Plans to unilaterally eliminate part of the Constitution? Even Republicans that have generally backed him in Congress have pointed out that this is far outside of the power of the Presidency.
