“Thompson, or whoever becomes President, only needs to send the word to the Justice Department to follow the letter of the law.”

The President may only need to send word, but a candidate needs to offer the electorate information by which to judge his fitness for office. It’s what candidates are supposed to do during campaigns.

Again, do you have any argument with the substance of his proposal?

Fine, then discuss The Federal Immigration and Nationality Act in detail!

Obviously you haven't thoroughly read my posts so I will reiterate. The problem is he doesn't need a proposal that will "call for stronger laws to force employers to verify that workers aren't illegal immigrants". He only needs to state as President he would order the Justice Department to follow the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act to the letter of the law. Anymore than that is grandstanding. That doesn't require a public announcement.
