Besides the birthright citizenship Trump wants to end with an executive order, in recent weeks, Trump has also repeatedly called attention to a migrant caravan making its way toward the U.S.-Mexico border, invoking it as a symbol of what he sees as wrong with the U.S. immigration system and blaming Democrats for a lack of action.
Homeland
Security and Pentagon officials said Monday that they will send 5,200 troops,
military helicopters and giant spools of razor wire to the Mexican border in
the coming days to brace for what Trump is calling an “invasion” of Central
American migrants.
Trump's attempt to bring up immigration issue again seems a way to divert attention from healthcare issue which Democrat have sought to make the leading issue of the election, and fan the flames of anti-immigrant hatred in the days ahead of the midterms.

I was just about to post a blogpost about Trump's executive order. This is clearly a direct violation of the constitution, so does Trump actually think his executive order will be successful? Also, can presidents even make executive orders that explicitly go against the constitution? Or is this just a publicity stunt from the executive?
