Thread: Lou Dobbs calls it like it is...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/05/01/dob...sts/index.html

NEW YORK (CNN) -- We all awoke to headlines in our nation's most important newspapers reminding us that this is "A Day Without Immigrants." Not illegal immigrants, mind you, but immigrants.

USA Today headlined today's demonstrations and boycott "On Immigration's Front Lines." The New York Times headlines its story "With Calls for Boycott by Immigrants, Employers Gird for Unknown." The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times are both calling their coverage "The Immigration Debate."

These major newspapers obviously don't want to disturb their readers with the information that today's demonstrations and boycott are about illegal immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens.

CNN and Fox News are both using a banner calling their coverage "A Day Without Immigrants," while MSNBC is titling its coverage "Immigrant Anger."

Most of the mainstream media has been absolutely co-opted by the open borders and illegal immigration advocates. I'm not opposed to demonstrations and protests of any kind, even by those who are not citizens of this country, because one way or another, demonstrations and protests enrich and invigorate the national debate and raise the public consciousness of truth.

But only one newspaper, to its credit, reported that illegal aliens and their supporters' boycott of the national economy on the First of May is clear evidence that radical elements have seized control of the movement. The Washington Post, alone among national papers, reported that ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) has become an active promoter of the national boycott.

Some illegal immigration and open borders activists in the Hispanic community are deeply concerned about the involvement of the left-wing radical group. But others, like Juan Jose Gutierrez, whom I've interviewed a number of times over the past several months, manages to be both director of Latino Movement USA and a representative of ANSWER.

As Gutierrez told us on my show, "The time has come...where we need to stand up and make a statement. We need to do what the American people did when they pulled away from the British crown. And I am sure that back in those days many people were concerned that was radical action."

Just how significant is the impact of leftists within the illegal immigration movement? It is no accident that they chose May 1 as their day of demonstration and boycott. It is the worldwide day of commemorative demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and even anarchic organizations.

Supporters of the boycott have made no secret of their determination to try to shut down schools, businesses and entire cities. Much of Los Angeles' Seventh Street produce market, which supplies thousands of local restaurants and markets, is closed today. Many meat-packing companies like Cargill and Tyson are also closing many of their plants.

"The meat packers are confirming what we know," says University of Maryland economics professor Peter Morici, "and that is that this large group of illegal aliens in the United States is lowering the wage rate of semiskilled workers, people who are high school dropouts or high school graduates with minimal training."

In fact, a meat-packing job paid $19 an hour in 1980, but today that same job pays closer to $9 an hour, according to the Labor Department. That's entirely consistent with what we've been reporting -- that illegal aliens depress wages for U.S. workers by as much as $200 billion a year in addition to placing a tremendous burden on hospitals, schools and other social services.

Radicalism is not confined to Gutierrez and Latino Movement USA. Ernesto Nevarez of the L.A. Port Collective is promising to shut down the Port of Los Angeles today: "[Transportation and commerce] will come to a grinding halt. ...They are going to put a wall along the border with Mexico. We're going to put a wall between us and the ocean. And those containers ain't going to move."

No matter which flag demonstrators and protesters carry today, their leadership is showing its true colors to all who will see.

You've got to love Lou Dobbs! This guy should be running for President!

Lou Dobbs is the voice of truth and as we know, people don't like hear the truth.

"The meat packers are confirming what we know," says University of Maryland economics professor Peter Morici, "and that is that this large group of illegal aliens in the United States is lowering the wage rate of semiskilled workers, people who are high school dropouts or high school graduates with minimal training."

In fact, a meat-packing job paid $19 an hour in 1980, but today that same job pays closer to $9 an hour, according to the Labor Department.

Being an American is a privilege, and not a reward for breaking its laws.
Who in the right mind, "unless drunk from sheer greed and power", would be this irresponsible towards its people and its country. It takes special people to pull this off. We call them traitors. They take American people for granted...they take us for the sheep they can herd. But guess what, evey action has its reaction, and if this means forming of the new parties...so be it. They change one law, we will change another...if that is the game they would like to play with the American folks. What are they suggesting us to do...White collar jobs are being exported, blue collar jobs are being replaced. Our social security is being spent, they want us to support everybody in the mother with our hard paid taxes, like healthcare and schooling of the illegal alliens, the very items many natives are not privy to...medicare is pretty much bankrupt. What do they want us to do? Go to other country...so they can replace us here or abroad with cheaper labor. Well, this is our country, our last stand, we have nowhere else to go...nor does anybody really wants us. It is, afterall, easier to replace the establishment than us...and much cheaper too.

Do you know what this reminds me of? Hispanic activists are copying the strategies that Castro and Che - and now Chavez and the like were/are using. Vicente has directed the folks that even he couldn't control and didn't have use for...and sent them over to us to handle. How do you explain then, that even the leader of the commie movement in Mexico was marching with the mobs yesterday in Mexico shouting slogans against the US.

Us Americans who love this country have elected the officials who we thought felt the same way. No law obiding citizen could have been fully prepared for this level of betrayal by the very people we elected to represent us. They, on the wings of large monopolies, are choosing to stuff their pockets in the short term, at the expense of very fiber that has made this country great, namely its people and the laws they followed.
Who is to say, that tomorrow, other laws are not to be ignored when one group doesn't feel like it. Chaos only invites more chaos.
