Hate him all you want, but the fact that he is doing it is because it's a political blockbuster. Every single time I see this announcements, I direct my anger to the voter. The voters are the only ones that demand this and make it politically viable. The same way this announcement is negative propaganda for us, it's positive for his voters. People is the real problem.

Yes. What's even more, concentrating on addressing them completely defeats the purpose: not only they are not the root of the problem, but they will get victimized by their supporters. It's a lose-lose-lose strategy: you don't address the supporters, who are the root cause of the problem, you reinforce their union and conviction by attacking the product of their actions, not their actions, you only cause social distress and hatred.

It’s completely illegal action. Congress controls the purse.

It doesn't matter, nothing, absolutely nothing is illegal in practice for as long as it's politically profitable. And that's not even bad per-se, it's actually how it should be. That's not the problem, but the problem is: why is it politically profitable?
