Lou Dobbs Tonight
Friday, March 28, 2008

Tonight, Barack Obama got a key endorsement from Sen. Bob Casey
of Pennsylvania, where Obama is polling far behind Hillary
Clinton. Meanwhile the Democratic candidates continue to tear
each other down.

Is there any end in sight? We’ll have all the latest on the
campaign. Plus:

* American consumers are getting hit with higher food prices
every week. The high proportion of imported food—incorporating
price rises overseas and fuel costs—is one problem. So is rapid
inflation in grain prices here at home. We’ll take a look at
the causes of rapid food inflation, and whether the United
States government is bothering to do anything about it.

* Suffern, New York is the latest example of a community tired
of just accepting the impact of illegal immigration. The police
there are seeking authority to cooperate with federal
immigration authorities. Kansas is on the verge of passing
tough new laws aimed at illegal immigration and in Rhode
Island, the governor has just signed an executive order
ordering the police and parole officers to work to find illegal
aliens in their jails and turn them over to federal agents.

* And in our weekly tribute to the men and women who serve our
nation in uniform, we’ll have the story of Sgt. Omar Hernandez.
Hernandez came to the United States from Mexico with his family
when he was just six months old. At 19, he joined the army to
serve his adopted country. On his third tour in Iraq,
Hernandez’ patrol came under fire; injured, he risked his own
life to rescue two members of the Iraqi National Police from
imminent danger. He was awarded the Silver Star.
