Amid the laudable moral support for the DACA recipients after President Donald Trump's revocation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, liberals should keep in mind an important constitutional principle: Immigration is supposed to be the province of Congress, not the executive. The belief that the president has ultimate immigration power can lead to terrible results -- like Trump's travel ban against six majority-Muslim countries, also powered by the mistaken idea that immigration policy should be set by executive order.
