What powers does the president have and what can/should he do TODAY, apart from Congress, to stop the erosion of and re-capture the conservative base just on the illegal alien irresolve?
If you were president, what one, two, or three things would you do?
Thanks again.
"What powers does the president have and what can/should he do TODAY ... If you were president, what one, two, or three things would you do?"
1) I dont know how far the employment verification program can go without Congress, but I'd find some way to expand it.
2) I'd ask all Companies in the US to make a public statement in support of hiring only illegals. Why not make it a matter of civic responsibility, like the companies so proud of 'green technology'. ... actually this is something *WE* can do, by demanding our own companies do that, and boycotting companies that hire illegal aliens.
3) Exec branch can reform the BIA and fight back against immigration lawyers and hidden loopholes.
4) More funds in border patrol for direct border security.
Frankly, it wont change public perception, its all hidden.
