Executive Actions on Immigration

Executive actions on immigration are measures taken by the President to address immigration issues without needing approval from Congress. These actions can include directives to immigration agencies, implementing policies, or prioritizing certain cases. They are used to manage how immigration laws are enforced and can help address specific concerns like protecting undocumented immigrants or enhancing border security. While they don’t create new laws, they influence how existing laws are applied and can have significant impact on individuals and immigration systems. These actions reflect the executive branch’s discretion to manage immigration policy within the framework of existing legal authority.
