I'd still like to know why there was no anger with Slick over the borders.

He was a Democrat.
Democrats like open borders.
Hispanics are the demographic salvation of the Democratic Party, and Democrats know it, so of course they are not going to be all over their President about an issue that they think is good for them in the long run.
Business Republicans like open borders because they provide cheap labor that is not protected by the US legal system. So there wouldn't be any grousing about the borders from them.
That leaves conservative Republicans. Many of them DID complain about the illegal flood, but the focus became the Clinton impeachment over perjury, so everything else took a back seat.
The borders issue only counts with Border Conservatives, who are a key element of the Republican base. Democrats aren't going to go after their leaders for border non-enforcement, because they either don't care, or see that, strategically, Latinos are the future majority-makers for the Democrats.
That's why.
