Well you'd have to have Congress pass a tariff, but as a President I will enforce immigration laws.

The President cannot "enforce" anything.  The President's power mostly lies within his power to say no.  AKA his veto power.

For a capable politician, that should be enough to make the congress life very difficult if they aren't inclined towards the presidential policies. Yes, even on the systems who follow Mostesquieu's original ideas of a strong legislative to hold back executive power. 

For a capable politician.
