#1 I still wonder why Congress can't criminalize the awarding of work permits to illegals by federal employees. This would circumvent the civil service system, the funding issue, and also go outside executive orders. A federal employee giving a work permit to an illegal commits a felony, goes to jail, loses his job and pension, all nice and legal-like. I am not a lawyer, though, I'm sure some lawyer can come up with elegant legal ratiocination about emanations of penumbras why this cannot happen.

"Amounts received as fees by federal agencies must still be appropriated by Congress to that agency in order to be available for obligation or expenditure by the agency,"

Yes but the fly in the ointment is that the President must sign the appropriations bills or continuing resolutions that implement the action. If new ones aren't approved the old ones remain in place for another year. The Republicans can't win here.
