Why will congress and the senate not do its primary job?

Question

According to the constitution the federal government is to protect our borders and ensure the individual states rights.

Answer 1

Because, they have learned, over time, that they can do exactly What they want, when they want , and the Way they want and there is never ever anything done about it ---- So, we, the people, have created a monster..... and, now we have to either Live with it -- or take it down..... preferably by way of the vote.... but, that is taking a lot for granted, seeing that THAT is the exact reason we are in the position that we're in today..... people's inability to see that they HAVE that power and the willingness to USE it !!!!

And, I might add here --- for "Wolf" and others --- the current run up to the "take down" of the borders in the USA and the push to legalize every illegal in the country --- was formulated, designed and implimented by the REPUBLICAN party -- and the core of this movement started with a meeting held in private at the Bush Ranch in Crawford, Texas several years ago between Junior and Vincente Fox !!!!!! Don't go laying this crap on the Democrats !! It just ain't so !!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

There is an absolutely simple answer to this question. Most people will not like it, but it IS a simple fact. I for one, do not place blame on the politicians or the administration for the problems in America. The fact is, undeniably, the blame falls on the American people themselves. Government can only do what the people allow them to do. Most Americans will sit on their butts at home and whine and complain about all the things that are wrong within their own society. They will blame whatever president is in office at the time, or senator, or governor, or whoever they can think of. Even though they know in their hearts, it's their own fault. It will never change until their lives become so miserable that they finally get off those butts, walk to their state capitol, and demand that it change. The truth is, it is going to get much worse, and soon. Laws are in the works now that will change America FOREVER, and NOT for the better. Politicians have visions for the future that are totally different than the average American. By the time the majority of Americans have had enough to force them off the couch, it will be too late to fix it. Stop your whining, get off your butt now, and change it. The best start and opportunity will be June 16-17th. Real Americans are being asked to get involved and take back their Country by marching on their capitals. This is a Nationwide event that is already scheduled. Type in "june 16th march" in any search engine and it will come up. You claim to be an American? You want to regain control of your homeland? Get off your butt and get involved! Otherwise shut the hell up!

Answer 3

Try reading the Constitution sometime--that's not what it says. Congress'e job is to set the budget, advise and consent to certain presidential appointments and pass legislation. Protecting the porders is the president's responsibility. and "state's rights" where they are legitimate are protected by the Constitution itself, and the Courts. Although in this day and age, when used as you do, the term states rights is usually a euphimism for racism and bigotry--and no part of the government protects that.

Answer 4

It is the million dollar question. Maybe this will answer it-Have you heard of the North American Union? USA, Canada & Mexico will become 1 nation, bills have been passed in all 3 countries with the support of all of our government leaders laying the groundwork, and the North American Union HIGHWAY has already started construction!The Republicans and some Democrats are going to make a bundle on this one.That is why I think Ron Paul should be our next President, he is the most likely to do everything in his power to stop this.

Answer 5

Because the Democrat Party registered hundreds of thousands of Illegals to vote Democrat in the last election.
IT WORKED.
To the Democrat Party, Everything is about gaining more Money & more Power!
