- It could be extended for much longer than 60 days. (See 2017 travel ban)
- It could be expanded into more categories. A secondary order, which is more restrictive, is under consideration.
- The president has broad authority to pause immigration indefinitely if he deems such action necessary. (Also see 2017 travel ban)
- Currently administration has been trying to propose changes in law to drastically cut down legal immigration with no success. Instead it goes after USCIS policies and processing speeds. More paperwork, public charge rule, hiring freeze, and more are methods used to slow immigration processing speed and thus effectively hindering immigration and preventing immigrants from voting. This EO and possibly another or the expanded version serves right into it.
