Lou Dobbs Tonight
DOBBS: Mexican lawmakers are on their way to Los Angeles to participate in Monday's boycott and demonstrations in support of amnesty for all illegal aliens in this country. The Mexican government lawmakers last night passed a resolution showing their overwhelming support for the demonstrations and boycott in the United States. All political parties in the lower house of the Mexican Congress approved the resolution. This is just the latest example of Mexican politics trying to influence U.S. policy and U.S. public opinion in the illegal alien amnesty debate.
Illegal aliens in this country and their supporters intend to severely disrupt the nation's economy and our schools with their boycott and demonstrations Monday. The groups will not consider their boycott a success unless they succeed in basically shutting down our cities and pressuring Congress to pass amnesty for all illegal aliens.

"Who controls the Legislative and Executive branches of our government? This can't be laid off on the Democrats."

I agree, that is completely unfair considering Bush is leading the charge for amnesty and the country club pubbies are following like poodles.
The Boycott is an act of war by Mexico and domestic enemies within this country. Sadly, our prez will not see it that way and is even sympathetic to the illegals cause.
That deserves repeating, thanks! For some reason conservatives and Bushbots like to ignore that fact.
Lou went away from business and finance long ago. All he talks about is immigration/border security and free trade.
All that and his constant and unrelenting carping of the Bush administration.
What's your point? You have a problem with those of us who are furious that our President and Congress won't secure our borders and have every right to say so?
Puleeeeze. Tom Tancredo is one of the very few people who have come out stridently against illegal aliens. He is marginalized almost to a man by every Republican holding national office.
The President has come out in support of converting illegal immigrants into guest workers. He has advocated making it easier for them to become citizens at some point. He has advocated letting in MORE Mexican nationals. He has advocated loosening our immigration process so still more immigrants from the world over can come here.
Now you want to blame the democrats for being the worst? Tell me what could be worse than these people continuing to get free healthcare, free education and free welfare?
No! The Democrats are not worse. We could pass solid legislation to end this travesty if we wanted to. Our side doesn't. That is a national disgrace.
I agree. Let's take Mexico's oil fields and their other resources--- as reparations for their invasion of our once sovereign nation.
I am afraid you are right.

Ungh... Can anyone imagine this happening in reverse in this day and age?

On the contrary, you're providing fabulous entertainment to a lot of us.
Fine, but where do we send all the illegals?
Is he wrong?
I don't consider it an act of war, but it is undeniably prevocative. Mexico is that one neighbor on the block who won't mow his lawn, paint the house or have their pets do their dootie on their own property.
All I know is that I'm getting pretty lactose intolerant.
You're welcome. And you're absolutely right. Good gosh, it may be painful but don't deny reality folks. Credibility is a terrible thing to waste.
Even Rush Limbaugh will remind people that he's first and foremost an entertainer.
It's obvious you're fired up about this and we have a different POV, so I won't take this too much further before it heats up and I get zapped by a kitty.
I don't think the guest worker program is akin to amnesty and I think the dems' position is worse. Since we have to choose between two options, I'll take the GOP, which isn't as bad. The alternative, not voting, voting 3rd party, or voting dem would make the situation worse, let alone the other pressing issues.
The same argument you're making could be made about the deficit. Neither justify ignoring the dems' outrageous behavior. IMHO.
