"So if everyone wanted in regardless, illegal or not, they should be let in????
GWB had the "political capital" after 9/11 to do something about this abomination. He did not and by all measures made it far worse."
""Bill would speed up deporting illegal migrants (makes illegal entry a FELONY!)""
This is the title of this article, WHO passes legislation and WHO allocates the funding???? Constitutionally speaking the Congress does, if the President has no authority or no dollars he can't do squat.
Congress could demand that every illegal be shipped out tomorrow, however thy must provide the funding for the shipping to take place. Have you contacted your congressperson and your senators???? Let them know how much they have screwed up this country????
It is fruitless. I live in NY and my congressscum is Nita Lowey.
The president can propose legislation and lobby for it. Remember the Drug Bill and No Child Left Behind???
