Trump's executive orders on #immigration try to do many things that will face challenges:
- Only Congress can change the law on asylum
- Mexico will need to agree to resuming the 'Remain in Mexico' program
- The Alien Enemies Act requires proving a state of war exists

While the president has a broad range of immigration and national security powers, he cannot change US law on his own.
