Donald Trump has issued a proclamation that would block indefinitely immigrants in categories the administration failed to eliminate in a bill before the U.S. Senate in February 2018. Economists consider the justification for the president’s action devoid of serious analysis and unconvincing.

In effect, the Trump administration has used the COVID-19 crisis to rewrite immigration law without passing a bill through Congress.
