His exact words: "I am against vigilantes in the United States of America; I am for enforcing law in rational ways"

Look, I am near the same page as you on the illegals. But I see too many blaming one man instead of the freak'n Congress. Look what came out of committee thanks to our own Repubs. We had a chance to enforce existing law. It's a bigger picture than one man and it's been going on for years. Speaking of that one man - you might want to read this if you have an open mind - Hispanics Fear Anti-Immigrant Backlash After Bush Remarks This was back in 03. Yeah, I want the president to do approx the same as you but Congress has got to gather it nuts up and the president has no choice but to follow. He hasn't vetoed anything yet, has he? But now our own freak'n congressmen have folded.

Don't you think he would veto a bill similar to HR4437? He has said all along for the past 7 years he's for a guestworker policy and being a man of his word, he hasn't budged an inch. I can't see that he would be willing to sign any real reform (assuming the idiots in the Senate would pass such a thing.)

He doesn't need congress at all to enforce the border - the laws have been on the books forever. He just refuses to enforce them.

What to do about the illegals already here is truly a complex problem and will require some work with congress, but stopping additional illegals from crossing the border every day is a simple problem - Bush just needs to enforce the existing laws and stop encouraging them to come.
