How many more disastrous mistakes must this administration make before even a Republicancontrolled Congress recognizes that abdicating our constitutional role and concentrating power in the executive branch is the wrong strategy for protecting the security and rights of the American people? Do we need to create yet another environment for crony contractors of the BushCheney administration to bilk taxpayers out of billions? Five years of this administrations incompetence has left Americas borders unsecured and our immigration system broken. We joined to pass a bipartisan Senate bill with tough. practical. comprehensive immigration reforms to secure the borders. enforce our laws. and fix our immigration system. We want to bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows. They are not just numbers. they are actual. real peoplemothers. fathers. husbands. wives. children. The President and his administration say that comprehensive immigration reform will make us safer. I agree with the President on this issue. President Bush told the American people he supports comprehensive immigration reform. I told the public I agreed with him. So now. if he wants comprehensive immigration reform. he has to tell the Republican leadership in Congress to stop obstructing it. They havent even gone to a conference. Nor do we need a study to determine whether we should build a barrier along the 3.175 miles of the United StatesCanada border.
