NEW YORK (CNN) -- We all awoke to headlines in our nation's most important newspapers reminding us that this is "A Day Without Immigrants." Not illegal immigrants, mind you, but immigrants.

USA Today headlined today's demonstrations and boycott "On Immigration's Front Lines." The New York Times headlines its story "With Calls for Boycott by Immigrants, Employers Gird for Unknown." The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times are both calling their coverage "The Immigration Debate."

These major newspapers obviously don't want to disturb their readers with the information that today's demonstrations and boycott are about illegal immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Dobbs has been incredibly consistent about exposing the invasion that we are undergoing and does not mince words. Truly amazing for CNN.

Thank YOU Lou Dobbs. It is important to note that many people are being taken advantage of by people who do not really have their interests at heart, but want to use them to further their own agendas.

I wish the press would do a better job of covering this issue.

---Radicalism is not confined to Gutierrez and Latino Movement USA. Ernesto Nevarez of the L.A. Port Collective is promising to shut down the Port of Los Angeles today: "[Transportation and commerce] will come to a grinding halt. ...They are going to put a wall along the border with Mexico. We're going to put a wall between us and the ocean. And those containers ain't going to move."---

We have a port security issue hear. Wonder how the politicians will respond, if at all?

The problem with Doob's logic is that there are more than illegals participating and that there are more than hispanics participating.

He's right the leftist socialist newspapers and some cable stations put out propaganda and LIES! Their agenda's are obvious!

Now we need to start a campaign against all the newspapers and channels that LIE to Americans, immigrants? NOT!!
Say it like it really is

Count me among the reasoned moderates who have grown concerned about the radicals "taking over" "the movement" on illegal immigration.

They are setting up a nasty backlash from those who previously saw them as humble, a-political workers and family types.

---Do the drivers have union contract?---

An interesting question:

"Unlike the common vision of a trucker, an old white man wearing a cowboy hat drinking a big gulp full of coffee, most truckers in LA are Latino, some are women, and most speak Spanish. They call themselves troqueros. They work an average of 60- 80 hours a week, and are often forced to drive under dangerous and illegal conditions. Many of them have histories as organizers or radicals in their home countries. And now they are making history organizing in the U.S.

I'll post this as a separate article.

This is an absolutely "must read" article.

Lou reveals how the leftist elements are using the immigration issue to try to create chaos.

"Most of the mainstream media has been absolutely co-opted by the open borders and illegal immigration advocates.

But only one newspaper, to its credit, reported that illegal aliens and their supporters' boycott of the national economy on the First of May is clear evidence that radical elements have seized control of the movement. The Washington Post, alone among national papers, reported that ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) has become an active promoter of the national boycott.

Some illegal immigration and open borders activists in the Hispanic community are deeply concerned about the involvement of the left-wing radical group. But others, like Juan Jose Gutierrez, whom I've interviewed a number of times over the past several months, manages to be both director of Latino Movement USA and a representative of ANSWER."

Agreed!

Many meat-packing companies like Cargill and Tyson are also closing many of their plants.

"The meat packers are confirming what we know," says University of Maryland economics professor Peter Morici, "and that is that this large group of illegal aliens in the United States is lowering the wage rate of semiskilled workers, people who are high school dropouts or high school graduates with minimal training."

In fact, a meat-packing job paid $19 an hour in 1980, but today that same job pays closer to $9 an hour, according to the Labor Department. That's entirely consistent with what we've been reporting -- that illegal aliens depress wages for U.S. workers by as much as $200 billion a year in addition to placing a tremendous burden on hospitals, schools and other social services.
