"And the President can veto them "

President's can't veto every act of Congress.
Plus Congress can and do override vetoes.

"of course since he has vetoed nothing they are not afraid of his veto "

Constant use of vetoes or threats of veto is a sign of weakness.
Basically it means you can't persuade the people's representatives to your point of view, and are forced bludgeon your way in.
You don't use vetoes just because you can use vetoes.

Plus we haven't even had an immigration bill yet.

If the conference comes up with a bill that is closer to that of the enforcement only House version, then I am very happy for the President NOT to veto it.

I must have missed that part of the law can you point it out to me! Also point out the bills the President has vetoed!

No we don't have an immigration bill yet but the R's in the Senate have totally capitulated the issue, giving the D's everything they wanted its the worst bill to possibly come out of the Senate in my lifetime.

Are you an immigration lawyer?
