DOBBS: All right. Bill Tucker, thank you very much.
The lead editorial in the "Wall Street Journal" this morning is entitled "Immigration Spin Control." And then, without embarrassment or even a remote sense of irony, goes on to spin the issues of border security and illegal immigration.
The "Journal" editorial writer, in fact, managed in limited space to confuse illegal immigration and legal immigration, dismiss the significance of border security altogether. And while the "Journal" pandered to big business and the open borders advocates, it managed to suggest the Republican winner of the Orange County, California congressional election is panicked because he's smart enough to listen to the concerns of his new constituents and to insist on border security before he pledges to take on the issue of immigration reform.
At the same time, the "Journal" editorial basically suggested that Bill O'Reilly and I are somehow relentless in our support of the Minuteman Project, the volunteer group that works hard to bring attention to our border security crisis.
And I just want to be clear to the "Journal" and to this audience, I support the Minuteman Project and the fine Americans who make it up in all they've accomplished fully, relentlessly and proudly.
The "Journal" goes on to conclude all of its hyper-spin by calling for support of President Bush's guest worker program. I predict soon the "Journal" will be calling for a new term for Mexico's president, Vincente Fox.
Now our weekly salute to this nation's heroes, the men and women in uniform who serve the nation around the world. Staff Sergeant Christian Bagge, wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq just three months ago, today determined to make a full recovery in spite of devastating injuries.

That Journal article really made me angy. It showed a complete misunderestimation of the problem. Job supply and demand are not the issue, its the illegality of the act, the invasion, and the costs that are borne from the welfare state and public benefits of future generations.
That is very, very, good news..
I've been listening to Lou for the past several months because he seems to actually do some honest reporting on the things that are wrong in this country instead of presenting "news of the stars" like MSNBC or rants like O'Reilly. He's really been slamming the government on the illegal invasion.

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.
Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.
For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.
George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.
Rest assured that Fox and Bush have a concrete plan for the "new America".
And the destruction of the Republic continues unabated. I wonder what will happen first. The true American people wake up or the country is overran with lawbreakers and the rule of man sets in.

Lou Dobbs, whose wife was stopped in an airport with a concealed gun, now praises the minutemen??
God bless him. He sounds like a conservative.
It will be difficult to ween some of the Wall Streeters off their cheap labor.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant ~ Bump!
Lou Dobbs is one person at CNN that many of us watch. I recall his astute commentary on events already from the 1990s.
