The President’s authority under that law ends where Congress has spoken.
It takes the parts of the INA that are designed to protect against competition for US workers, deems them ineffective, and makes up new taxes to address them in a way the President (not Congress) wants.
“We may assume that §1182(f) does not allow the President to expressly override particular provisions of the INA.”

Or are Americans required by definition to accept its Savior?
If they are not, what and who constitute the ‘America’ the Dept. is addressing?
Is there anything else about Jewish Americans that makes them—in the Dept.’s view—unworthy of sharing the Dept.’s nation? Or is it simply the fact that they are Jewish?
If any do, why does the Dept. use ‘we’ exclusively to describe those who accept its Savior?

Do people who do not share the Dept.’s Savior also share its nation? If not, what nation do they belong to?
Is the Dept. blessed to share its nation with Jewish Americans who do not share its Savior?

Long story short: there was a statewide hand recount in GA. Biden’s victory confirmed. No law broken. This is nonsense.
The richest man on earth is spending his time blasting garbage conspiracy theories about the 2020 election — which have been universally thrown out of court — to tens of millions of the gullible.
Ask yourself what he’s preparing them for.
