Maybe not, but whatever he proposes is going to have to go through Congress for the most part.
Exactly.
The people who are flaunting the law now are going to continue flaunting the law. The people who have *been* enabling this illegals flood will continue to enable it.
Nothing Bush said last night will change that. He didn't even address that. Nothing about new ways of cracking down on the problem. Just offered up the same solution that has failed multiple times before.
I don't know if you're old enough to remember Carter. But he passed laws to end 'baseline budgeting'. He considered it his biggest accomplishment. Went around giving speaches about how he had beat that problem.
Of course, 30 years later, we still have baseline budgeting.
Bush hasn't addressed the real issue yet. I think he might get there, but I'm not sure he (or anyone) has the guts to really address govt corruption.
