Lou Dobbs Tonight
Monday, April 7, 2008

Tonight, we’ll have complete coverage of Clinton campaign chief
Mark Penn’s departure following reports that he lobbied on
behalf of the Colombian government for a free trade agreement
that Clinton opposes.

And President Bush was pushing that same trade agreement today.
We’ll have the latest on this country’s faith-based trade
policy. Plus:

* The Bush administration has handed a victory to business
special interest groups looking to hire cheap foreign labor
instead of American workers. A new policy allows foreign
students with a technology background to stay in the United
States for up to 29 months rather than 12—greatly increasing
the odds they will receive H-1B guest worker visas.

* Critics of the communist Chinese regime continue to make
their voices heard in protests along the Olympic torch
route—pointing out the regime’s disregard for human rights in
Tibet, its support for the Sudanese government responsible for
Darfur and its oppression of free thought and expression in
mainland China. We’ll have the details on protests in Paris,
San Francisco and more.

* The number of legal immigrants that became U.S. citizens last
year dropped 17% due mainly to federal administrative problems.
Last year the Citizenship and Immigration Service received a
flood of citizenship applications ahead of a drastic fee
increase and the agency simply does not have the resources to
process the applications in a timely fashion.

* Absolut Vodka ran an ad in Mexican publications showing a
redrawn map of the Mexico incorporating Arizona, California,
and other southern states. Absolut has pulled the ad in
response to the criticism. We’ll have a report on the outrage
over the ad.
