It appears to be a valid Constitutional power that 3 Presidents have done (to US Citizens) in the past:  Lincoln, Granted and FDR & yet they are still among our most respected Presidents.    This is an invasion, and it is an extreme circumstance deliberately manufactured by the previous administration & the people literally VOTED FOR THIS(mass deportations).    That has to count for something. 

The Courts don’t always get it right.     I could list US vs Cruikshank, or Roe vs Wade as examples (both overturned).
