Are you denying his powers in War to close the borders to illegal immigration? Surely if he can listen to Al-Qaeda on the phone, he has the authority to use the military or federal forces to close the border.

Ummmm...ever heard of the Posse Comitatus Act? In a nutshell, this act bans the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines from participating in arrests, searches, seizure of evidence and other police-type activity on U.S. soil. The Coast Guard and National Guard troops under the control of state governors are excluded from the act. If you want the military (CG and NG) on the border, contact your Governor, don't bitch at Bush.
