I wouldn't be the first person to note that this executive orders seems like it's a distraction tactic for something else, but this part makes me wonder if the distraction tactic is right there on the face of the thing. Perhaps there's an attempt here to give the administration another "tool in the box" for stepping up immigration enforcement actions.
