In any case, they must believe their voters are not interested in the details which will as Flabbybody argues above, drag on through Congress and the Courts for the next year or so. For this reason Trump has not pointed out to his voters his administration has already modified the policy -on Green Card holders and UK citizens with dual nationality- but declared the policy is a success and should have been made years ago. One wonders what failure will look like when it is finally acknowledged, if it ever is.
