Bush had no idea there could be such an anti Constitutionalist, America hating President who's goal was to bankrupt this country! Obama could have rescinded the order any time he wanted. Instead he is using it to achieve his goal and the liberals can blame Bush for it. Jim

One part you got right: Bush had no idea! The Constitution does not allow the President to rescind or repeal the law. The process for repealing a law has to begin in Congress.

Re: alien children

Tell that to your President......That only holds if he wants to ignore it, blame someone else for it or say the Republicans are do nothing.

In July, Boehner said the House would not take up immigration reform this year. This is all about cheap labor and the GOP supports that...everytime. By their own words they are "do nothing".

Re: alien children

We have more than enough immigration laws now. They are not being enforced..all the way back to Reagan's tenure.
No need to pass more laws ...
Make the congress a part time job with no bennies, just like working people are being stuck with.
Three months a year is more than enough time to pass laws that they don't obey.

Congressional approval rating, July, 2014....15 %

Re: alien children

If the House passes anything, Harry Reid, a Democrat will not allow a vote in Senate.
Easy way to claim the Republicans are do nothing, right?
Agree with Mark, its about enforcement not new laws. Secure border First.
Constructive suggestion. Any Bill originating in the House must be given reading and vote within 30 Days of passage. No way for one party to control ALL legislation by not allowing it to advance.

Section235 -
Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop policies and procedures to ensure that unaccompanied alien children in the United States are safely repatriated to their country of nationality or of last habitual residence.
Sets forth special rules for unaccompanied alien children from contiguous countries.
Directs the Secretary to: (1) develop a safe repatriation pilot program for alien children; and (2) negotiate child repatriation agreements between the United States and countries contiguous to the United States designed to protect children from severe forms of trafficking in persons.
States, with specified exceptions, that the care and custody of unaccompanied alien children in the United States shall be the responsibility of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Sets forth related provisions respecting: (1) notification of, and transfer to, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); (2) age determinations; (3) safe placement; (4) legal and child advocate access; (5) immigration status adjustment and asylum protections; and (6) assistance eligibility.
Authorizes the Secretary of Heath and Human Services to award grants to, and enter into contracts with, voluntary agencies to carry out such responsibilities.

This law continues to allow foreign children to cross our border. So what does a Border Patrol Agent enforce the law or close the border. Only Congress can undo this.
