Which he is doing, but the instant gratification crowd here, who doesn't understand HOW government works, nor what a president can and can't do, really doesn't care.

He can pardon the agents, and fire the prosecutor, for starters.

What he can't do, apparently, is come up with enough money to fund that 700 mile border fence we were promised. Much more money for Section 8 housing, though, in that huge budget he's proposing.

Yep, that apparently would all but bankrupt us. ....fiscally irresponsible in the extreme. But of course tossing $15 billion into the deep pockets of African dictators (ostensibly to fight AIDS) is perfectly affordable, conservative, and most importantly "compassionate."

Who holds the purse strings of government?

Come on, answer me, it's a really simple question, that any 10 year old should be able to answer. :-)

No, he can't fire the prosecutor.

He can pardon the border guards AFTER he reviews the case.

Fifth grade history is really not all that difficult and should be known by all adults. You are an adult, aren't you?
