U.S. Title 8 Sec 1182 Immigration Bans/Suspensions by President of United States

Is this relevant and plain enough for politicians calling President Trump's Executive Order on Immigration 'Unconstitutional'?

Suspension of Entry or Imposition of Restrictions By President

"(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
 
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
 
It does not have to be debated by Congress.
