I see absolutely no reason to expect that whatever law comes out of Congress will be enforced when those that are currently on the books are not. Therefore, this is an exercise in futility by the Republican "leadership".

Why aren't we enforcing our borders right NOW?
We don't need any legislation, President Bush just needs to do his duty!
