Lou Dobbs Tonight
Monday, November 17, 2008


Television
*Tonight, President-Elect Barack Obama is forming his
team and choosing who will have a part in his administration.
Does this team represent the change in Washington that Obama
promised or will it be more of the special interest driven
politics as usual? We will have a full report on who the
candidate is choosing and what lobbying ties they have.


*Plus, What approach will President-Elect Obama take to
reforming our broken immigration system and securing our
borders? During the campaign, he spoke of the importance of
securing the borders and cracking down on illegal employers,
but he also supports a path to amnesty. The President Elect is
facing a long list of immigration related problems, as well as
both pressure from pro-illegal immigrant groups demanding he
take action on Amnesty, and border security activists warning
of the potential dangers if he turns away from the path of
increased security measures started by the Bush Administration.
Tonight, we take a look at what these early clues may indicate
about the stance Obama will take on our broken borders.
