President Trump May Re-Write and Re-issue His Executive Order on the "ban."

President Trump's executive order concerning the intensive vetting of aliens from problem countries in the Middle East will probably be resubmitted next week and the so-called ban re-instated.

Obama had Chief Justice John Roberts as his personal secretary to do the re-writing of his Obamacare, then along with the other SCOTUS members passed it into law.  Blacks ordinarily get a pass on many mistakes but the courts jumped through their proverbial derrieres to make  America's first black president a success because...well, because he was America's first black president.

Trump does not have the luxury of the courts coddling him like they did Obama.  He is therefore vulnerable to the courts' quibbling and pettifogging his every action, their aiding and abetting the left wing activists, fifth-columnist opponents of law and order and the advocates of anarchy.

Trump should have paid more attention to hiring experts in immigration law, particularly in the fields of examinations and exclusions. Examiners have to write publishable reports of every denial, backing it up with quoted law and precedent decisions.  The best are not lawyers because the vagaries of immigration law are intimidating and they must depend upon impoverished clients, or such organizations as the Legal Aid Society or other charitable sources for their fees.

Immigration Examiners historically worked their way up though the Border Patrol and other divisions of immigration law enforcement.  A few enjoyed encyclopedic memories and the faculty of instant recall. Such skills are now blunted by computers, and I believe, make one mentally lazy.

Most of those "immigration experts" on Trump's staff seem to have been mostly involved in the physical round-up aspect of immigration law enforcement, without in-depth learning in immigration law. Trump should not have ignored the learned, self-taught specialists.  It is hard to conceive, but a few years ago some, if not most, of the real experts in immigration law were also "cowboys" early in their immigration law enforcement careers.  Going from the Border Patrol to Immigration Examinations was an unsettling experience. When I applied for that job in 1975, I went from Fort Hancock, Texas to Los Angeles.  I had just received my degree in English, and I was later told that that was the reason I was selected. I later learned that the job would require  mountains of typewritten reports on my personal adjudications of all sorts of applications for a wide array of immigration benefits, but mostly for permanent residence in the U.S. Many such benefits required the applicant to possess certain skills, from doctors to rocket scientists. Some applicants were movie actors and others were professional athletes. Soon after arrival in L.A. District Office, I was detailed to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) for advance training.

Former President Reagan started appointing big campaign contributors, such as Howard Ezell, former Weinerschnitzel CEO, to such powerful decision-making jobs as Southwest Regional Commissioner of the INS.  Such "outsiders" tended to promote sycophants with no regard for merit. In the late 1980s the old INS became just another trove of political spoils. Ezell, seemingly a frustrated, wannabe law-man, liked to go out on raids with enforcement personnel andactually chase the (always) fleeing aliens. Instead of battling the open- border advocates, President Reagan eventually caved in and signed on to the biggest immigration amnesty in  history (IRCA, in 1986).

For the first time ever, last night I found myself agreeing with Geraldo Rivera.  He said that Trump's executive order (on the so-called ban) was "bush league" in the way it was written. Indeed, it was dead in the water before it got off the ground.  Trump is in bad need of some real immigration experts to combat the lurking vultures of left-wing opposition in the courts. If I were young again, I might volunteer to help without compensation, but advancing age and declining energy, now forbid it.
