Why? Bush is letting the country down, not congress (in this instance). Illegal immigration is ALREADY illegal. Bush is the executive in charge of protecting the border, not congress. Do you want congress to pass a law to make it even more illegal?

Obviously you don't have a clue how our government works. In order for the executive branch to implement any of the ideas like walls and fences that you people drool over, Congress would first have to appropriate the money. The President cannot simply "close the border" on a whim without the necessary appropriations from Congress. Of course this is just about the Bush haters on FR using this as an excuse to attack the President for a problem that existed long before January 20, 2001.

Oh, you mean the President isn't allowed to ask for the money?

The fact that Bush repeatedly says that illegals are just doing jobs that americans won't shows that it is not lack of funds that is keeping Bush from securing the border.

The border patrol already exists but Bush will not use them. Tell me, when has Bush approached congress for funding to help secure the border?

There is no way the Bush-bots can blame congress for this.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many people the give Bush a hard time on a conservative forum? Could it be that he runs as a conservative but governs as a liberal? Tell us about the last spending bill that he vetoed. The man has been engaged in vote buying from the minute that he was elected the first time (No Child Left Behind, Senior Prescription Bill, etc).

Many of us went ahead a voted for him again and even campaigned for him since the man he was running against is a socialist and an appeaser. Just because Bush is better than the socialist, terrorist appeasers that he runs against doesn't mean that he is some sort of God or even conservative.

While Kerry was going to give away Amercian sovereignty from the outside, Bush will give it away from the inside.

Do oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people? Do you believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty?
