Lou Dobbs Tonight
Monday, June 26, 2006

Join Lou tonight for an hour of news, debate and opinion.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he turned down a
White House request to more than double the number of
California National Guard troops that will be deployed to the
U.S.-Mexico border, fearing the commitment could leave the
state vulnerable if an earthquake or wildfire erupts. But how
does this affect the written agreement between the governor and
President Bush about cracking down on illegal immigration and
tightening our broken borders?

In Maryland illegal aliens and other foreign nationals are
lining up at the crack of dawn, some spending the night in
their cars, to get drivers' licenses. Maryland is one of the
few states in the country that does not require an applicant to
prove “legal status.” In recent weeks the number of
out-of-country applications has more than doubled. We'll take a
look tonight at what's driving the spike and the debate to
tighten license requirements.

Under a little-known provision of NAFTA, supra-national
tribunals are challenging U.S. laws in cases all around the
county. Chapter 11 of NAFTA allows private investors from
Mexico and Canada to sue the U.S. government if they feel state
or federal law hurts their cross-border business. What’s at
stake? Everything from our right to ban Canadian mad
cow-infected cattle to our ability to safeguard drinking water
from harmful additives. We’ll report on whether the closer ties
of the Security and Prosperity Partnership will make these
courts even stronger.

A shocking new report says Earth may be hotter than it has been
in thousands of years. A panel of experts joins us to discuss
this astonishing report.

And nationally syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr.
continues his attack on Lou's stance against illegal
immigration. He’ll join us to explain why he thinks Lou is
wrong on these important issues of illegal immigration and
border security.
