"Though there are tons of problems, This is not
something Bush can do by himself"

Bush could do something by himself. He hasn't tried and he's resisted everyone who has. Bush is a complete failure when it comes to border security. I know most other politicians are as well, but Bush is the one with the most power to fix this the problem right now.

That's incorrect. See post #158.

I would like something done also as I see everyday the damage that is being done but I am not stupid as to
think Bush can do this by himself.
When a big part of congress, the media, a large amount
of the general public, etc. are against this,
look what he is putting up with trying to fight terrorist.
Right now there are minute men at the border and there
are a lot Mexicans, etc. protesting with signs and bullhorns on this side of the border. Also the MM are being shot at. I would like to see a wall and troops
posted at the border but I know with the vast amount of
liberals in every part of society, and the tens of thousands of Mexicans on this side of the border would you
and others be willing to come fight at the border as that
is what will happen.

A president isn't a king, or a dictator, or even a despot. From your post, it is blatantly obvious, that you have absolutely NO idea HOW our government works.

If you believe that the president has THE most power, please explain, in 100 words,exactly what these POWERS are that he can use, to close all four borders. And since we had as bad of a Southern border problem in the early 1950s ( you knew that, didn't you ? ), why wasn't it permanently fixed back then?
