Lou Dobbs Tonight
Monday, May 12, 2008

Tonight, the number of deadly tornadoes this year is at its
highest level in a decade. Three tornadoes killed over 20
people across three states just this weekend. We’ll take a look
at what is causing the record numbers of killer tornadoes.

And we’ll have all the latest from the campaign trail, where
Sen. Barack Obama appears to have eclipsed Sen. Hillary
Clinton’s superdelegate lead, even as Obama concedes that he is
likely to get trounced in the upcoming West Virginia primary.
Plus:

* Missouri state lawmakers are expected to support a measure
requiring proof of citizenship to vote. About 20 other states
are currently considering similar measures, but Missouri is the
first to react to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that citizens
have to show photo ID to cast a ballot.

* Middle class families’ wages are flat or falling and costs
are rising for everything from groceries to college. To get by,
people are turning to payday loans. By some estimates, payday
loans topped $28 billion last year, and have doubled every year
for the past five years. Unfortunately, these loans are made
with deceptive and predatory terms.

* Drug related violence rages on in Mexico. The Juarez police
chief announced his resignation Saturday after his
second-in-command was murdered outside his home. Earlier this
year the drug cartels put out a hit list on law enforcement
officials in Juarez; so far more than half of those on the list
have been killed. Meanwhile, Rep. Duncan Hunter wrote a letter
to President Bush demanding accountability and benchmarks for
the $500 million the U.S. plans to give Mexico to fight drug
violence.

....hey Lou, how about letting Americans know there are now approximately 700 job vacancies at the Agriprocessing plant in quaint, Postville, Iowa? Perhaps Lou should post the Human Resources number to call ....if Agribusiness can recruit illegal aliens from abroad ...they should put as much effort in recruiting the over 15 million Americans who are jobless.
