CNN's Lou Dobbs to brodcast live town hall from Penn State Hazleton
04/27/2007 12:00 am


Hazleton, Pa. -- Penn State Hazleton will host CNN anchor Lou Dobbs for a live town hall broadcast of "Broken Borders," exploring the topic of immigration, from 8 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, May 2. Additionally, "Lou Dobbs Tonight" will air live from 6 to 7 p.m. from Penn State Hazleton.

The program will focus on the impact of illegal immigration in the Hazleton area and broaden the dialogue to include its nationwide effects on America's cities and towns. A panel of experts will discuss border security, community activism and the effect of corporate complicity on illegal immigration. A live, invitation-only audience will also participate in the dialogue. The programming is subject to late-minute network schedule changes.

In 2006, the Hazleton City Council passed the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, a local statute designed to relieve the community's criminal, financial and social pressure associated with illegal immigration. As the city faces litigation over the constitutionality of the statute, other communities are considering similar laws.

Dobbs will facilitate the panel discussion and be joined by panelists including Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta; George Grayson, professor at the College of William and Mary; Robert Rector, a senior research fellow with the Heritage Foundation; Kris Kobach, a law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City; T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council; John Trasvina, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; Brent Wilkes, national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens; Russell Pearce, an Arizona state representative; and Sheriff Ralph Ogden of Yuma, Ariz.

According to John Madden, Penn State Hazleton chancellor, "Our campus is here to provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas. It is my hope that work that has been and is being done out of the media spotlight emerges through this forum."

Dobbs is a best-selling author and award-winning journalist who joined CNN in 1980 as anchor of "Moneyline" and is the only original anchor on the air today. He received the George Foster Peabody Award for his coverage of the 1987 stock market crash, and he won an Emmy Award for his groundbreaking series "Exporting America" in 2004. In 2005, the National Academy of Arts and Sciences honored Dobbs with its Lifetime Achievement Emmy for business and financial reporting.

This is one i had a chance to see last night....

The Answers are clear



BE HONEST AMERICA

I watched this show last night thought it was good. Lou didn't let the pro-illegal BS flow. He stopped them in their tracks.

A couple other points that came out in the meeting (all by memory this morning, and remember, it's still early out here on the west coast...):

The local school district superintendent / director / etc. - explained to the group that his staff of ESL faculty had increase from approx 5 to 23 in the last 4-5 years alone.

Mayor Barletta said that city schools used to spend about $50,000 annually on ESL instruction about 5 years ago, now, that figure is approx. $1.1 million a year.

The gentleman that stood up and approached the stage area and made his very personal point about his son not being able to find a job, and have to move to a place like Hazelton - only to face similar or worse problems there - well, it was a very poignant moment for sure. Thanks to Lou for not trying to censor this man for having the guts to stand up and be heard.

As I have said before, Lou is just too nice with these pro-Latino lobbyists.
Why does he no simply pose these questions:

1) where do they get the notion that foreigners have a RIGHT to immigrate to the US if they so desire?

2) does a sovereign nation like the US and Mexico not have a right to determine who and how many come?

3) good citizens and real immigrants are obligated to abide by the laws of the land, EVEN IF they don't like some laws. We obey until and unless the law is changed through our consitutionally established procedure. How csan these "immigrants" respect our laws and traditions if we encourage them to break our laws and adapt to THEIR wishes?

4) why do the lobbyists do the bidding of the Mexican and US elites? Why are they allied with the UNHOLY ALLIANCE within which the Catholic Church aids and abets the delivery of an unlimited number of "cheap labor" foreigners for their arch enemy, the exploiters of workers, certain corporations

5) how about the POWER OF THE PEOPLE who have prevailed on our political establishment NOT to cave in to the UNHOLY ALLIANCE though this alliance is well financed through heavy artillery in the form of LATINO LOBBIES such as LULAC, MALDEF, LARAZA, MeCHA and the unAmerican ACLU?.... how about the power of the people?

then there is that fellow Brent Wilkes, the token Gringo at LULAC,.... well, later...

If I know the "Latino" mindset, I am betting that they will claim this guy was a "plant" and Dobbs had to import this guy from NJ for this stunt...

However, what always amazes me in these townhall meetings, is the "passion" that the do-gooders express for "immigrants", but NOBODY ever thinks of the AMERICANS and LEGAL ALIENS who are negatively affected by this onslaught of frankly racist immigrants; racist, because they don't give a damn about any other immigrant, legal or illegal... they are selfish and self-absorbed, the latest VICTIM of the US society... in search of ENTITLEMENTS...

oh, and one more thing: those folks lobbying for "immigrants" are all probably profiting from this chaos in personal economic terms.. otherwise they would offer their personal time and money to help their FELLOW LATINOS...
