3. Im all for it.
Lou has dead aim on illegal aliens and I hafta agree with him. Legals are fine. Illegals need to go.

10. Where's His Calls To Prosecute The Real Predators?
All well and good to enforce the immigration laws. However, while I hear so much about the problem of the illegals, you rarely hear about actions taken by those who exploit those illegals for their own wealth...on both sides of the border.

I've rarely seen Doobs call out about a large American corporation that benefits from the hiring of illegals. You won't hear him say we should boycott Con Agra or Del Monte foods...the people who benefit hiring illegals or contract with those who do. Also there's the corporations that run south of the border to avoid labor and environmental laws knowing they can pay off the Mexican government and exploit away. Lou won't take us on a tour of those factories.

Problem with Mr. Doobs is he speaks like a "populist" when he's always been a mouthpiece of his beloved Wall Street. He could do a lot more about the immigration problem at the drinkie drinkie parties he goes to by getting in the faces of a couple of his CEO buddies. But then that's not what gets TV ratings and stokes the ego.

Cheers...

13. No , omg! Who would be left in my apartment building?
There would hardly be any renters left and the price to keep tenants would have to go way down. We can't have that.Too many restaurants, contractors, and retail chains need to have their cheap labor.

5. He was reporting a study that said the cost to deport all illegal aliens
was in the billions. No chance of it happening.

Dobbs was openily angry that no one from the Bush administration showed up for a Senate Judiciary Meeting on illegal aliens today.

6. Actually, there are three different bills
being touted re illegal immigrants, altho I doubt any of them will go anywhere. The senate had a hearing today and two cabinet members who were supposed to be there bowed out at last minute. WH said "oh, well, it was only a 'panel discussion' -- no big whoop." Seemed like a slap in the face to senate, but they should be getting used to the abuse by now. They'll probably apologize to WH for inconveniencing them...

It was on Lou Dobbs. You can probably find the transcript at CNN.

8. wait until they "deport" native US citizens declared "terrorists"
Then things will get uglier. Of course, they'll take a few intermediate steps so it doesn't appear to be such a large leap.

11. A RWer on my county board phoned the INS about all the
illegals here working construction. He was told they would only deport them if they did something illegal.
