This leads to one of two conclusions. Bush ordered them to do what you appear to claim they are doing or Bush is completely unaware of it and as such is failing as a "CEO."
It would seem to me that there are a few levels of management between an agent on the border and the CEO. Yes, he is ultimately in charge and responsible, but don't you think that if an order exists, it could have come from anyone above the agents in question?
If an entire division of a major corporation ordered their sales staff to not sell the product for a month wouldn't you want to know where the CEO was during that time period? He certainly would have to answer for it if it was true.
My first response would be. Where was management and why aren't they doing anything? I would not give them a pass. Of course the first thing a reasonable person asks is, "Is this even true?" Since the claim was assumed to be true then the second question should come into play. Yes the order could have come from any level, but management is supposed to know what is going on. That is their job.
