DOBBS: Professor Swain, you got the last word.

SWAIN: I wish that Senator Obama had dealt with the fact that maybe black men would be more responsible if they had jobs and some of them are being displaced by illegal immigration. He is not dealing with the violence between blacks and Hispanics, as well as the jobs.

MADISON: We agree on that.

This is the very first time I have heard a black commentator mention that illegals take jobs from blacks. They said it almost under their breath, but they did say it. It's a step. Let's try to encourage them to become a lot more vocal.
