You are dancing around the fact that those responsible for the enforcement of all existing federal laws pertaining to immigration and border control fall under the direct chain of command of the POTUS. Those federal laws are not being enforced.

The buck for not enforcing our immigration laws does not stop in the Senate and it does not stop in the House of Representatives. It stops on President Trump's desk.

NOPE. The buck doesn't even exist anymore because the antagonist Congress has gone to war with the people's choice for President. And the why of it is simple; he's not a product of the establishment. AFTR, the federal laws are such a collision of jurisdictional overlap that nobody can really say with clarity what the heck the law is. And frankly the official historical record on that is more than clear starting with the Democrat betrayal of Reagan on this exact subject. You remember the “The Immigration Reform and Control Act” of 1986, right?

Article Quote: "One of the “sweeteners” to obtain the votes necessary to pass the bill was also a Congressional promise to fund and build a border fence.

Sound familiar?

Today, 27 years after the passage of the IRCA, (make that 33 years and counting as of today) the border fence isn’t built and the penalties against hiring illegal aliens remain largely unenforced." http://www.conservativehq.com/article/12...s-mistakes

Maybe a reputable or talented lion trainer could have followed up the Sigmond and Roy Act with some success, but no kind of trainer could hope to walk into the swamp and expect any amount of success given the venomous cur striding those halls. And IMO Sir, you are dancing around that existential fact.
