From the what-separation-of-powers department:
The Department of Homeland Security has an update on the entry ban:
The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people. President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. President Trump's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.
The NY Post adds:
The ACLU is getting "multiple reports" that federal customs agents are siding with President Trump — and willfully ignoring a Brooklyn federal judge's demand that travelers from seven Muslim countries not be deported from the nation's airports.

Bottom line: The president has the legal authority to shut down immigration, at this point in time. You can appeal, which gains you a few weeks or months in detention, while waiting for your appeal to go through. And at the end of the process, if you haven't performed enough deviant sex acts for the right people, out you go.

Real bottom line: the president issue an illegal order, has had to fire people that tell him it is illegal, four judges ruled it is illegal, annnd to top it off green card holders don't quite fit into "immigration" like you're imagining.
Deviant sex acts? Seems like the massive push back against this stupid order is pushing your personal limits of criticism. The strong man act doesn't work so well anymore, too many people are educated enough that you can't just intimidate them with strong phrases like "Bottom line".

On the contrary, the push back is against the liberals, who want to redefine common words, so that they can confuse issues.
You don't get to decide that the United States isn't the United States anymore, just because you have been brainwashed into thinking that you are a "citizen of the world". Nations and nationalism are still a thing.
Trump has issued no illegal orders. He has acted within his legal authorities. You don't like that, so you want to change definitions. Doesn't work, Bubba.
