>>>"but to lay everything on the President's shoulders"

He's in charge of the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch EXECUTES the law. He's where the buck stops. If he wants the laws upheld, he can get it done.

What's the law that has teeth that can get them deported without adjudication? Is it for the accused to show they're here illegally or is it the judicial system? Does not having documents prove they're here illegally? Round em up all you want and they still get their day to be heard. While they're waiting for their day, show me what law allows for their detention without bond? "Build a Fence", on who's money and approved by who, President or Congress? Sure the Executive can do more at enforcement but it's the judiciary that determines if they get deported. Immigration Court is a minimum 4 months in the rears. Being an Illegal Immigrant is no worse than getting a speeding ticket in the eyes of the law because they're both just misdemeanors. Congress can make it a felony and that would help a lot by putting teeth into the law.
