Partially because just the threat or interim imposition of the policy gets him what he wants. Either people change their behavior anyway (immigrants being scared and/or leaving, schools or television networks buckling down), or he inflicts costs on them by virtue of the things they have to do in response.

Isn't that akin to a "slap" suit? Those are illegal in many states (though not all, and I don't think at the federal level).
