New York threatens lawsuit over Trump's coronavirus immigration pause

New York Attorney General Letitia James said Wednesday that she is “ready to take legal action” to try to stop President Trump’s new immigration pause, saying he was usurping Congress’ power to write immigration policy.

Top Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee also weighed in with their opinion that Mr. Trump’s proclamation suspending issuance of new green cards to most prospective migrants tramples on their powers as lawmakers.

“Under our Constitution, Congress writes the laws, and the president must enforce them as written. This executive order turns that bedrock principle of separation of powers on its head,” said Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Zoe Lofgren.

Ny said he wasn’t doing enough but now he is doing to much ? I’m confused do they want to stop the spread or not ?

It's in the constitution that the Federal Government's job is to protect our borders and external enemies. A immigrant carrying the virus is carrying an enemy. Why in hell would an immigrant be in a hurry to visit NYC right now anyway? Shut up!

That might play well to some NYC residents but just another sign of the collapse of the Democratic party.

And "under the Constitution" we are allowed to go to church. But because of the pandemic we are not allowed to go there. Same applies to the immigration order. It is put in place "because of the pandemic."
