Presidential Executive Orders
The president of the country issues executive orders which are legally binding. The executive order comprises the ideas, rules, laws, or policies for the betterment of the country at the national level as well as international level. Executive orders are not always made to change the policy or develop a new law. It is also issued to guide a particular institution or officer to guide or provide them direction on existing laws. Executive orders are popular and controversial because they give power to the president for major decision making, which does not require acceptance of Congress. If Congress disagrees with any of the executive order, then it can amend a previous law or allow rewriting the order. At this point, the President can veto to the decision of, but it requires a two-thirds majority for acceptance.

Another aim of this executive order is to control the crime in America. Improvement in the immigration laws would remove various categories of immigrants as unauthorized immigrants, immigrants who are charged with the crime and convicted and an immigrant who is charged with the crime but not convicted, etc. This order will also be applied to the immigrants who come to America through proper channel and legally. If any legal immigrant gets involved in any unlawful activity, then this order will be subjected to him.
The fundamental reason for the executive order on immigration system is to make the country free of terrorism. After the incident of 9/11, America advanced to combat terrorism. Through the amendment of the immigration system, terrorism can be finished. This executive order provides more flexible authority to apprehension officers, which has led to immigration raids. The focus of the immigration raids is stronger towards noncriminals. However right of immigration hearing or legal counsel is available for all immigrants.
The executive order on immigration system is beneficial in some aspects, but its drawback cannot be ignored. Although the aim of the present Donald Trump is to control the crime and terrorism from the country, this law may cause difficulties for many people. The new immigration law results in difficulties for the people who are legal immigrants. America is the world’s largest economy. People from different countries move here to find out new opportunities. Not only businessman or employees but a large percentage of foreign students come for higher studies. Therefore strictness and long process for visa and immigration process can make difficulties for such people. People who are involved in criminal act or terrorism do not migrate to the country through the legal channel. Therefore, it will be less beneficial to minimize their access through immigration law. Policies should be made on law enforcement to control illegal immigration through borders and ports. Also, policies should be more effective to handle criminal cases within the country. For common people, the immigration system should not be difficult to access.
Therefore, a potential executive order on immigration system shows the power of the president to establish the policies for the country. This order is developed for the betterment of the country. It is beneficial for the peace and prosperity of the country. While it has one major drawback that legal immigrants may face problems with the new law.
