Something that doesn't need Congressional approval: How about an Executive Order directing ALL law enforcement (FBI, CIA, Boder Patrol, U.S. Marshall, et.al.) to enforce the existing laws in this country in accordance with the oath they all took upon accepting their present job. No Congressional approval needed and it would do so much for this country. Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on February 7, 2008 01:07 PM OPEN BORDER GLOBALIST BOOSH AT IT AGAIN...

the notoriously inefficient federal guest worker program for agriculture, seeking to provide more legal workers to American farmers who now rely primarily on illegal immigrants. Since legislation to give legal status to illegal immigrant farm workers failed last year in Congress, the administration is now taking action that does not require Congressional approval to streamline the existing guest worker program," the New York Times writes. "Growers cautiously welcomed the proposed changes, saying they would be helpful but would fall far short of solving the shortage of legal workers. Advocates for farm workers warned that the measures would lower wages for those who are already in the United States."
