Lou Dobbs Tonight
Friday, May 16, 2008

Tonight, we’ll have the latest from the campaign trail,
including Sen. Barack Obama’s response to President Bush’s
controversial comments at the Israeli Knesset and a look ahead
to Tuesday’s primaries in Kentucky and Oregon. Plus:

* The Department of Homeland Security has faced criticism and
even lawsuits for his efforts to enforce immigration law in
this country. The latest is from the Texas Border Coalition,
arguing that the federal government did not thoroughly discuss
the construction of the Texas border fence with property owners
in the area.

*AngryRenter.com appears to be a grassroots website, collecting
thousands of online signatures to petition against a government
mortgage bailout. But in fact, the site is run by Freedomworks,
a lobbying firm, chaired by former House majority leader Dick
Armey.

* Some in Congress are once again trying to push piecemeal
immigration reform through the back door. Sen. Diane Feinstein
of California attached a farm worker program to the
multibillion dollar Iraq war funding bill yesterday which would
grant temporary amnesty to 1.3 million farm workers and their
families over the next five years.

* Derek Tidball, a Congressional candidate in Arizona is
running as an independent. He’s a 29-year-old Army veteran of
the war on terror in Afghanistan. His two main issues are
better treatment for returning troops and securing the border.


* In our weekly tribute to the men and women who serve our
nation in uniform, we’ll have the story of Army Specialist Rick
Yarosh. Yarosh has always loved to cook. During his tour in
Iraq, his best friends in his unit were killed by an IED and
Yarosh lost a leg. Recovering at Brooke Army Medical Center,
Yarosh is cooking again, making fettuccine alfredo for lunch
and dreaming of someday opening his own restaurant to cook for
wounded soldiers, a place he will call “The Purple Heart.â€
