Harry Reid believes that out Southern Border is secure

No, I'm pretty sure Senate Majority Leader Reid was directing his comments towards liberals and moderates.

Who, if they believe what he says are idiots.

The real idiots are those in Nevada who voted for Harry Reid. Seems to be a trend with Democrats.

Maybe reid should read this report, since he thinks the border is secure

A weekly report distributed by a Texas state agency to senior law enforcement officials paints a grim picture of the Mexican border, where authorities regularly confront illegal immigrant gang members and draw automatic gunfire from across the Rio Grande, and where local, state and federal authorities fight a never-ending battle against drug smugglers.

The most recent Border Operations Sector Assessment report compiled by the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Border Security Operations Center, dated July 25 and obtained by FoxNews.com, details local and federal authorities encountering smugglers carrying millions of dollars’ worth of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, some of which was found in vehicles filled with biblical passages and religious items; federal agents being assaulted and shot at; gang members brazenly approaching people in their homes; and ranch workers witnessing men crossing into the U.S. wearing camouflage and carrying long guns and automatic weapons.

Most of them don't work or speak English, something that state has an overabundance of. All they understand is he keeps the handouts coming their way in exchange for their blind votes. That's how Harry can look and talk like a stooge and still keep getting elected. It is not the normal, hard working Americans voting for this guy.

Speaker Boner is currently suing the president for doing things without him. And now he's demanding the president take unilateral action on the border without him. The world is laughing.

Congress is going home today for some much needed R&R....and they deserve it after the 2 day work week they've averaged all year.

And after raising hell over the "border crisis" for the last month it looks like Speaker Boner will be content to leave it unaddressed....I guess its not such a crisis after all. Not if it requires him to...ya know...work.

senate proposals are also stuck in committee

The world is laughing at obama, not congress. obama is also going on vacation, after exhausting himself with his record number of golf games and fund raisers. When you factor in his over 400 fundraisers and almost 200 golf games & his vacations he averages less than 3 days per week.

More importantly PJ, do you think there are any limits to executive privilege? Can the president just change, enforce or ignore any laws he doesn't like?

Obama can not pass a bill. The Senate did pass a bill. The House did not pass a bill. End of story. There you go, Hoops. A little Constitution 101 and summary of recent events in 4 short sentences.

(The president delayed implemention of certain parts of Obamacare. Bush did the same exact thing with his Medicare reform. Democrats did not sue Bush and neither did John Boehner. So I dont need to bother wasting time defending the ridiculous lawsuit being pursued by the least effective Congress in history.. I'll let the late night comedians do it for me.)

The current border bill is stuck in a senate committee. There are over 100 bills passed by the House that reid won't bring to a vote, so the least productive congress is on the onus of the senate

The constitution says the president's job is to ENFORCE the laws of congress and the constitution; not to make unilateral changes - constitution 101

Then you should immediately stop stomping your feet over the big "IRS scandal". By law, almost every one of the conservative super pacs applying for 501c status did not qualify. The executive branch has made unilateral changes to the way it enforces that law - so super pacs now do qualify. And your position on that issue is well documented on this board. And there is no lawsuit from Speaker Boner on this matter, either.

Like so many other issues, Hoops and his buddies contradict themselves in their policy perspectives. All you need to do is jump in between threads to see them talking out of different corners of their mouths.
