Yet, many of our so-called elected representatives in Congress think we need more of this.
Lou Dobbs of CNN's Moneyline has been relentless in covering the crisis of Illegal Immigration as well as the Unfair Trade Practices that are De-industrializing America and the H1b/L1v Visa scams that are throwing thousands of Americans out of work. He tackles these subjects head on, does in-depth reporting on them which sometimes takes up more than half his show, and invariably gets to the truth of the matter.
Mr. Dobbs is the ONLY television journalist that is really Telling It Like It Is on a continual basis.
May I suggest that all concerned Freepers drop Lou Dobbs a line at his CNN website and thank him for having the courage to cover what the rest of the media will not.
I'm sure Lou is getting a lot of heat from the "Powers That Be".
Mr. Hatch you are a disgrace to America and IMO a Traitor. May the good people of Utah do to you what the good people in CA did to Davis.
BTW, anyone here think that Hatch would be proposing this outrageous piece of legislation if he was up for reelection in 2004? Time for him to be recalled.
Senator Durbin wants you to also call his office at (312) 353-4952 to express your view.
Hatch is an excellent example of someone who has been in Washington far, far too long.
Immaculate dresser, rocks in his head.
-First, the states have the OPTION of charging resident rates to these kids from their state, they don’t necessarily have to.
-Despite popular myths, MOST UNDOCUEMTNED PEOPLE DO PAY TAXES and thus states have the option of extending a service to a taxpayer who is already paying for it.
What if this happened to you: You grow up being a happy American child, you do pretty well in school despite your parents lack of money and constantly being uprooted every couple of years. When you become a freshman in high school, all your friends want to get their driving permits, so when you ask your parents for the papers needed to get the permit, something terrible happens. Your parents tell you about your “illegal” status in the country and if this isn’t shocking enough, this might be the first time they tell you weren’t even born in this country. You don’t know what to do .Suddenly you are an “illegal,” a criminal and you didn’t even know it.
You can’t try to obtain legal residency because being under 21, you fall under your parents undocumented status, thus are unable to make your status legal. What do you do? Do you go to your country of birth despite having to leave your parents behind, being only 15, not knowing the language, not knowing the culture, not knowing anyone in the country, and most importantly not even remembering ever being in that country? Or do you stay with your parents and the only country you have ever known and hope no one finds out. Anyone who says they choose option one is a liar.
1) US citizens form out of state have to pay out of state tuituion, so why should these kids get resident rates?

How do they file without a social security number? I have to have ssn's for my kids on my return.
