The Constitution enshrines, explicitly or implicitly, the right to welcome immigrants — a political and legal journey that continues to be challenging and complex. Though the American Republic is certainly more democratic than it once was, issues such as discrimination against immigrants (regardless of legal status), as well as the extent to which the President has the power to enact immigration policy such as DACA, continue to raise concerns.

To what extent can the Executive Branch constitutionally enact or terminate immigration programs?
