Bush has no control over the border, that is congress's job.

The dems and rino's block any attempt to make real changes.

A few months back there was a senate amendment for more border agents, the dems and rino's blocked it.

I think Kyl is going to propose for 10,000 more border agents, I've heard the dems and rino's are going to block it.


The executive branch has very little power in our govt system. Bush gets blame for so much that is starting to get laughable. Bush could be Jim Gilchrist and with the dems and rino's in congress there wouldn't be major changes.

We need a 40 foot wall on the border and tunnel rats to get rid of the tunnels. It's a disgrace.

Oh, man. The Executive is charged with enforcing the laws.

Actually, the Congress provides legislation and funding, and the Executive is responsible for enforcing the laws. Even if the Congress provided inadequate funding -- which I do not believe to be true, since the spending bills sent to congress were absent additional spending for border control -- the Executive (Bush) could still ARGUE THE CASE in the public forum. No, his silence is loud and clear vis his intentions.
