Lou Dobbs Tonight
Wednesday, March 5, 2008

Last summer, Sen. John McCain was written off as having no
chance of securing the Republican presidential nomination. Last
night he did just that.

Will it be the same story for Sen. Hillary Clinton? Pundits
said she was on the verge of demise—now the Democratic fight
looks likely to continue until summer. We’ll have all the
latest political news. Plus:

* The Pentagon announced last week that it would award a $100
billion Air Force contract to a European-led alliance, rather
than to longtime U.S. defense supplier Boeing. We’ll take a
look at this massive setback for Boeing and American workers.

* Immigration experts are appearing on Capitol Hill today to
release the results of a study showing the cost of illegal
immigration on the criminal justices system in the 24 U.S.
counties bordering Mexico–more $1 billion in less than a
decade.

* Elected officials from Canada and Mexico are meeting with
U.S. groups today to evaluate NAFTA and develop a new trade
agenda. The conference is focusing on the promises of NAFTA
versus the reality of the trade agreement.

* And Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned yesterday
that the housing crisis is not over and that lenders must do
much more to help struggling homeowners. We’ll have a closer
look.
