I heard him talking about Border Control...but I wasn't paying close enough attention, obviously.
I didn't catch what you just posted.
My ears DID perk up though, when he mentioned a 5:30 vote on that Monday on the Lobbying Reform Bill...since it had been "dormant" since Schumer's little stunt and the cloture vote.
By "deliberately slacking"...do you mean he doesn't want to really tackle it...or is afraid that Congress will give him a bill that is TOO STRICT for him to sign?
I have pulled my hair out over his stubbornness over his "guest worker plan"...and I can't figure out if it is more the "compassionate" conservative Bush...or the astute businessman Bush...
who has been lobbied hard by businesses in the US that want the hugh influx of labor from the southern border?
Those are two different aspects, current vs. future action.
I think the President's current enforcement action is purposefully slack. The laws are there, and he is not cracking the whip on the administrative agencies within and under the executive. He uses "want of a law" as an excuse for his half-hearted commitment to enforce current law.

Doubletalk annoys me, and the President is full of it on immigration. Ther is no way to find his motive through his words, and I haven't dug deeper to find "internal" motivations such as cronyism, kickbacks, or just favoritism toward Mexico and Mexicans to the extend that he'll wink at immigration law-breaking.
It's not that I don't care, but my opinion and 2 bucks will buy you a Starbucks coffee.
