I mean he didn’t have many other options. Republicans will not make a deal on immigration. It doesn’t matter if they have a Republican president or Democratic one. I don’t think there is much they can do at the courts to “really” do anything on immigration (major). They will need to do this in congress once they kill the filibuster

Yep. This is really in Congress's lap to properly fund the immigration system to get people adjudicated more promptly. EO's are too limited in what they can do and can easily be negated with the next administration.

Every single president for 40 years have tried to use EOs on immigration. Makes the difference on the margins

And yet, here we are. Margins are not working particularly well.

Yep. It’s congress’s issue. They actually have to do something. Given that fact, nothing will be done
