Although the pace of President Trump’s Executive Orders (EOs) targeting border enforcement has slowed since Inauguration Day, the repercussions of these and more recent EOs on legal immigration have grown.

Waking up today before the alarm sounded and reaching for my smartphone, I realized that it is March 15, 2024.
