The constitution. It gives the executive very broad and effectively supreme power over the borders, and the Court has consistently given the president vast power in that regard.
We've never quite gotten to a point where the executive is just refusing to exercise his powers to the detriment of the State to this degree.
So its gonna be interesting.

The same Constitution provides for a state to protect it's borders, would seem even more so in this case.

When the executive is committing treason he should no longer be the executive.

You kind of skipped over point A, if they are not abiding by the constitution, and their sworn oath in the first place....they cant be granted any executive powers.

It violates the basic idea of balance of power. At that point the executive has the power over the legislative branch. That's what made the most recent decision so rotten. It pretty much means the president can Veto congress in an unoverridable manner. He can just ignore the laws they pass.
