Dobbs: Senate bill Raises Serious Questions
CNN ^ | 4/6/06 | Lou Dobbs

Ultimately, this Senate immigration deal appears to fail the first test: Border Security. Because as I've said, and as many others agree, without first securing our borders, not even the best intentions will result in resolution of our illegal alien crisis.

The test for effective reform is straightforward: Congress and the president cannot reform immigration if the federal government cannot control it, and the federal government cannot control immigration unless it first secures our borders and our ports.

Any legislation that fails to meet those tests will only worsen what is already a crisis.

What if Congress is underestimating the number of illegal aliens by half? A Bear Stearns study last year projects there are as many as 20 million illegal aliens living in the United States, depressing wages for U.S. citizens and draining local, state and federal budgets of much-needed funds for education, health care and social services.

The following are some tidbits regarding current Mexican immigration law (Mexico's laws regarding foreigners to their country).

Very good points...

He has too much common sense and would probably never be considered for a govt. job.

In all my years on FreeRepublic, I have not experienced as much despair over our future as I do now.

I agree.

Hagel doesn't deserve the vote of any Patriot after his antics the last few years.

He's out of control. I don't understand his actions.

I crawled through broken glass to vote for Pat Toomey in his primary race against Arlen Specter.

So did I. Have you heard his commercials for Santorum?

"He still hasn't figured it out that outsourcing IS GOOD."

Huh? Outsourcing good? Looks as if the poster hasn't figured out that outsourcing is killing the American standard of living.

I live in a retirement area in Mesa, AZ. The other day I saw landscapers (read lawn service) truck go by the house. There were three guys in the back. Two anglos and one hispanic. Down the street they went and stopped at a house 2 doors up. All 4, driver (anglo) included were working in the yard.

Later I went to a Taco bell. The guy cleaning the bathrooms was anglo and the counter staff were non-english speaking hispanics.

Every where I go, I see a mix of anglos and hispanics doing identical jobs for presumably identical pay.

Who says mexs are doing jobs that anglos won't do?

Bull Boulders!! WE are being taken for mushrooms. The government keeps us in the dark and feeds us BS!

I used to watch then switched to Brit all the time and now back to Lou, especially since the round table guys are so depressingly out of touch with reality when it comes to the American citizens.

I'm pleading with those of you who haven't already joined to join FAIR and NumbersUSA because discussion on this board, albeit cathartic, won't get our senators to get some moral fortitude.
