2. I think it will be important, but not in the same way Lou Dobbs thinks
We have a President pathetically grabbing additional power as a bandaid to address an issue he's barely been aware of.

4. Chimps speech is for the sole purpose
of keeping the MSM from discussing Iraq, Rove, or NSA.

6. Lou is correct.
Well, of course, Dobbs is going to say this is an important speech ... it is about his latest signature issue. He is in the news/entertainment business after all.

But, I've been listening to Dobbs for the last few months and I think that on the whole he is correct. The Bush regime is waging war on middle class and working class America.

Illegal immigrants do get exploited by immoral, unethical and unscrupulous U.S. employers that pay substandard wages, no benefits, no workers comp, etc.

I'm middle class, I don't understand this "knee-jerk" liberal reaction against progressives who care about our jobs, our children's future, the sustainability of our environment and the security of our borders?

Frankly, I want many of these illegal immigrants to stay in Mexico and overthrow their corrupt, corporatist government. Why shouldn't they be able to live in the land of their birth, enjoy their own wonderful history and culture ... instead of being forced to leave their own homes because of the selfish plutocracy running Mexico?

So, hey, don't get down on Lou ... he is talking to middle America, and if progressives and, yes, even Democrats, are going to ever get back into power, they better pay attention to what Dobbs is saying.

7. Knee jerk that I am more concerned that my country is currently involved...
...in an illegal, immoral, invasion and occupation of another sovereign country than I am with Mexicans coming here to eek out a living?

You must be joking?

Knee jerk? Christ.

8. Can't the same be said for the people of America?
I'm referring to you words about staying in their own country and overthow their own "corrupt, corporatist government?" You don't have to be from Mexico to be "exploited by immoral, unethical and unscrupulous employers that pay substandard wages, no benefits, no workers comp, etc." - American citizens face that too every day. From American corporations.
