The big hole in the Trump administration's argument about standing

Is the claim that the AGs have no standing because the injured parties are non citizens.

The fact of the matter is that visa applications, particularly for resident visas, are made not by the recipients of the visas, but by US citizen relatives on their behalf. So the injured parties are American citizens whose due process rights are violated when their relatives are denied entry to the US, after going through the vetting process, simply on the basis of religion and nationality.

Entry visas, other than tourist visas into the United States, in general require a sponsor who is a United States Citizen.

That citizen is the injured party with standing in the courts, represented by the Attorneys Generals of their respective states.
