The Constitution specifically defines the protection of the nation's borders as the duties of the president.
Again, this isn't a case where Bush is trying really hard to solve a problem but it's just overwhelming. Bush actually is encouraging illegal immigration.
And maybe you've hit the nail, it's too overwhelming. What are we to do? That's a serious question. A border policy, enforced, military every 100 feet, that'll be about 10,000 troops, just on the southern border. I'm just pondering. But, the mines, the kill em all stuff is from the fringe kooks. We're not going to get rid of the illegals that are here now. It's impossible. Strict legal immigration policies need to be enforced, but that can't start until you have a strict border policy.
