Look, some people just can't debate facts and apparently you're one of those people.
You have to run from that question because to answer it would be to admit that no one cared about our "borders" as recently as 2004.
I agree, entirely! So what! NO ONE ELSE sits in the Oval Office. Is your narrowly focused brain so incredibly obsessed with politics that pragmatism eludes you like water flowing through a window screen?
Dang son! Some of the vacuousness here and sheer and utter absence of logis is stunning!
So in your world, b/c the President didn't campaign on something, that means he's powerless. Because the borders are a problem and he hasn't even admitted it to anything close to the ACTUAL extent of the problem.
Man, I think this is where a good piece of hickory or a 2x4 may be necessary. Pardon me if I don't respond to your inciteful nonsense anymore.
"So in your world, b/c the President didn't campaign on something, that means he's powerless." 
No. You're missing the point.
You're blaming the President for not taking action on an issue that only matters to you.
No one campaigned on the "borders" issue in 2004 because no one cared. Well, except for you. And you're upset because your issue isn't at the top of the President's agenda.
Too bad.
President Bush told you what you were going to get with another four years of having him in office. Americans liked what they heard. They re-elected him by a larger margin in 2004 than in 2000.
...and true to form, he's delivering actions in office that match his campaign promises in 2004. People are getting what they voted for.
But you don't care about all of that. You've got your one issue...and anyone who doesn't put your issue first is going to be criticized.
