MacArthur Fellow: Presidents Have Broad Discretion on Immigration

November 21, 2014 (1 min read)

"Some experts say Congress has given presidents broad discretion in enforcing immigration laws, which sets a high bar for opponents to prevail in court.  “It’s the section of the United States Code with the most discretion given to the executive branch,” said Anchorage, Alaska, attorney Margaret Stock, a MacArthur Fellow in immigration and national security law.  “It’s not anything like the EPA or the tax laws. Those are totally different codes and they don’t give the executive discretion to do things” to the same extent, she added." - Wall Street Journal, Nov. 21, 2014.
