I think a more serious question is one of whether this is "what Trump wants", or what those jackwagons in Congress were elected on the promise of doing.
Dealing with Congress, we have had decades of promises in one hand, and the other hand has been cleaned numerous times, in hopes the newly elected would finally get the job done and do something meaningful about a problem that has been acknowledged for 65 years.
Consider we have come farther along the road to exploring the planets (in person) than we have toward securing the border.
