To those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress have failed, I have one answer. Pass a bill, ---------- When George W. Bush couldnt get an immigration overhaul though the Senate, he gave up. When Barack Obama couldnt get a bill through the House, he changed the rules. Rewriting the immigration system was at the core of Bushs compassionate conservatism political brand and was dear to his heart. It didnt work a deflated Bush said on a June day seven years ago when the comprehensive reform effort finally died on Capitol Hill. Faced with failure, he asked his team if he could reshape the immigration system with his own executive power, but they concluded he couldnt. So Bush -- a president who fought the war on terror with an expansive interpretation of executive power -- moved on to other things for his last 18 months in office. https://youtube/watch?v=wejt939QXko
