Not to mention an unproductive distraction. All the fun we had with Bill and what's-her-name's stained dress might have been better spent pressing Congress to act.
Why wait on George to propose doing the right thing when Congress can do the right thing?
Then, should Bush fail or refuse to be the executive, impeach him.

What is it you would have Congress do? Re-affirm existing immigration law? Make illegal entry even more illegal? Pass a resolution that the executive branch should enforce the immigration law? That the Commander-in-Chief should use the armed forces of the United States to prevent and repel invasion by illegal entrants?
Congress? Act? Congress isn't for doing things....
Sorry, can't let this one go by. THIS IS NOT UP TO CONGRESS. This is entirely GWB's responsibility to EXECUTE these laws. That is why they call it the "Executive Office". The Congress is assigned the job of making the laws. They have. They are on the books. The President's SWORN responsibility is to ENFORCE these laws. One other thing: Congress voted to FUND 1000 more BP officers, and GWB hired 200, as I understand. Is any of this hard to understand?
I believe that's been covered, hasn't it??? Congress voted to add 10,000 new Border Agents...Bush said NO...
