Kinda smacks of a dictatorship when the enforcement branch of the government simply disregards the law making branch.

Do you really think it was an accident that the word establish was used?

This is the same congress that keeps passing legislation to build a border fence and then undermining or not funding the fence before it gets built.

Those words were used because much of congress wants to appear to oppose the Mexican truck program without actually stopping it from going forward.

I didn’t think of that angle, but it makes perfect sense. Political posturing, top to bottom.

Duncan Hunter's fence was funded- the ONLY problem with it was Jorge Boosh. It was his sworn duty to defend the border, and he is derelict in doing his duty. Can't blame this one on congress.

Everything Congress and the President does seems to have one goal: don’t let the economy slow down...for any reason. Keep bringing people in. Keep expanding.

This creates the illusion of a good economy, but allows more income to temporarily deal with the increasing costs of government programs.

All the time this slides back the day of financial reckoning; while increasing the liabilities. Hey, if you have to go bankrupt you might as well do it for billions of dollars instead of a few pennies.

Am I making sense here? It’s the only reason I can think of.
