Really. So the President is not Commander and Chief? I would send the militray to patrol the border (by the way they already do in a very limited capacity), and I would pressure the Congress into passing the House Bill that would make illegals and their employers subject to heavy fines. I would also advocate a federal Law requiring English to be the National Language, and require all immigrants to pass a citizenship test in English before they are awarded citizenship. Bush obviously cannot pass laws, but he can take a stand on issues that is intent on preventing the growing Fifth Column of Mexican nationals who are using our own government to turn the southwest back into Mexican territory.
This is NOT helpful to the debate and exchange of ideas. Forget what YOU would do as president and answer my question.
And as an aside, I suggest you look up just what the president's powers are, granted him by the Constitution.
