How is the president legally allowed to issue this kind of executive order?
Congress provided the President with the authority under section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to suspend the entry of any class of aliens he deems detrimental to the interests of the United States. This authority has been exercised by Presidents for decades, and has been a component of our immigration laws since the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
