A loser of arguments always try to revert back to historical extremes to make the final case for their claim. I guess you're admitting you don't have documentation making it "Bush's Policy" to tell the law enforcement community to ignore the law as you claim?

The American people are counting on us to secure our borders and restore the rule of law to our immigration system. The Senate Judiciary Committee today let the American people down by passing out a blanket amnesty bill. We've been down this path several times before, and it proved a failure.
There was a real opportunity to take the steps necessary to fix our failed immigration enforcement system and while progress was made, we did not get there. The proper approach is to first fix the enforcement system and then to undertake a national discussion about immigration, considering how to justly handle those here illegally and what rules should govern future immigration levels. We also have not effectively dealt with the national security issues.
I voted against the committee passed legislation because it rewards illegal behavior, will be considered amnesty by the people and will not restore respect for law. Fortunately, the House of Representatives has passed a solid bill, and there will be an opportunity to improve the Senate version in the days to come.
Is the law being ignored ? Yes.
Whose responsibility is that ultimately ? Whose responsibility is it to see that the agencies of federal power do their jobs ? And who has always insisted that a 'guest worker' program must precede any meaningful enforcement ?
Try as you might the truth is obvious.
