This is absolutely and totally untrue. No further laws or action by Congress is needed for the President to enforce our laws against illegal immigration and hiring illegal immigrants. The President, as chief of the executive branch of this self-governing nation took an oath of office to faithfully execute our democratically enacted laws and he has chosen not to do this on immigration.
It is President Bush's choice, and nothing else, that is preventing the enforcement of the laws the vast majority of Americans want enforced. He already has -- and has always had -- all the power he needs to enforce our laws as he well demonstrated after 9-11 with the rapid round-ups of muslim radicals virtually all of whom were charged with immigration violations! We all understand that a few high profile prosecutions of employers of illegal aliens would end the job lure and would go a long way toward solving the problem without the need for draconian round-ups of illegals, but under the Bush Administration such prosecutions of employers has all but stopped.
By his actions President Bush has renounced any pretense of believing in democracy and self-government here in America while hypocritically promoting it in Iraq and around the world.

Bravo. This is the most cogent post that I have seen on this matter!
