Baloney. President Bush has at his disposal a whole body of existing current law. If he really wanted to try to do something, he could try enforcing it.

George Bush took an oath of office to faithfully execute the laws of the land. He is the chief EXECUTIVE. It is his constitutional duty to enforce the laws and he has no right to pick and choose those laws he wants to enforce and to ignore those he doesn't personally like. This is what our self-governing system is all about. It is the people's will as expressed through our representatives in legislation that is supposed to decide these matters.

By his ongoing failure to enforce the democratically enacted laws against illegal immigration President Bush has shown his contempt both for democratic self-governance and the American people. His arrogant refusal to perform his constitutional duty should be met with the one remedy provided by the Constitution to protect the people against the usurpation of their legislative authority -- impeachment. It is now well past time for Congress to assert the rights of the American people to self-governemnt

Good luck with that impeachment - you do realize that "illegal immigration" is not even in the top ten most important issues for most Americans, right?

Even worse, his failures and refusals to enforce the law has had the defacto effect of making people view the law as being no law at all and any attempts at enforcing it as being racist.
