Lou Dobbs Tonight: Mexican Congress Supports Insurrection in U.S.
CNN ^ | April 28, 2006 | Lou Dobbs

Posted on 04/29/2006 10:54:51 AM PDT by Icelander

                                                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.

Lou Dobbs is an old-school lunchbox liberal and is angry that the anti-American nutcases took over the ideology.

Democrats used to be united with Republicans when it came to our security. Now they're in bed with these clowns.

Having someone spread the word on the harm done by illegal immigration is a bad thing?

I'm not advocating anyone do anything. I can only decide for myself what I will do. I have said what I will do but I'm not urging you or anyone else to adopt my personal choice.

IMO our leaders will continue to do as they please as long as they can get our votes no matter what.

Would I vote for a Democrat out of spite? No.

IMO, this off/year election (presidential) is the best time to let people know what you think. If the Republicans pay attention they might alter their actions and heal the rift. If not then they are endangering their presidential aspirations IMO.

This is ugly, but the rank and file didn't get us here.

Overall, there are fewer and fewer of them. The GOP needs electoral chemotherapy in my opnion, as in it needs some humilation, especially the GOP financial backers, untill it can get back to authentic conservatism.-

Yes, but in a business sense Dobbs just hit a home run. He saw an opening market, outrage of the illegals issue, and developed a successful product.

It's going to be interesting to see whether he tries to diversify his new status; he won't be able to succeed on one issue in a market where a lot of players are entering the field.

Well, I may have to reconsider my thoughts on that. I don't generally think of large protests as insurrections or rebellions. As long as they remain peaceful I have considered them expressions of opinion and little else.

Do I like what's going to happen on Monday? I couldn't disagree with it any more than I do.

I do think you make a reasonable case for consideration.

Statists who call themselves "conservatives" need to be removed from the GOP, so the GOP can get back to its principles. Sadly, for now, the Statists have domination of the GOP finances.

Why are we tolerating a foreign government coming to our country to support anarchy? Is it just me or this there something VERY wrong with this---among other things.

As members of Mexico's government class, these folks probably all have received longterm visas and can come for visits whenever they want. That said, there is a provisions in U.S. immigration law that would allow these folks to be turned away at the border, or to have any fresh visa applications denied -- on the grounds that their entry would be contrary to U.S. interests and policy.

Of course that would require an Administration not in agreement with the insurrectionists and invaders, and we're not getting one of those anytime soon.

I bowed out only b/c you have the upper hand in knowledge. You're enlightened me about the GWP program and made me consider things I was ignorant about. I'm only as arrogant as I'm right. When I'm shown to be wrong or to have missed something, I accept it. My ego isn't tied to my POV.

I agree with your proposal 100% - we do need to focus on the demand side of this - employers. I also think that such an approach would help strengthen credibility and counter the talking points from the left (attacking poor people not the corps., etc.).

The ironic thing is, if we focus on employers, some in congress (Hillary) will have some serious questions to answer.

So, just to be clear:

1. Secure the border (civil defense - MM, troops, technology, smart fences, whatever,however)

2. Enforce the law against employers and illegals who break the law. Deport illegals caught raping, driving w/o insurance, etc.

3. Reform immigration - post 1965 Kennedy law, too few good people able to get in, to many "bad" people able to get in.

4. Dry up demand by enforcement and nullifying the incentives.

Makes sense, but it's going to require a strong backbone.

LOL! And you speak for the entire country? Just because you knew who Mister Bland and Boring was don't fall into the trap of thinking people with a pulse did.

I never claimed to. You did and if you review your remarks you'll see that you did.

One more slam from sinkspur of an honorable and decent American. Talk about 'predictable'.

Monotonous, isn't it?

They also voted to legalize possession of small amounts of cocaine and marijuana. Now just wait for them to demand that Mexican Americans...dual citizenship, thank you very much...get away with drug use and possession in the US. Distribution of drugs, too...since it's an integral part of Mexico's economy. They can't wait to turn the US into a Mexican third world drug ridden hellhole.

All political parties in the lower house of the Mexican Congress approved the resolution.

And back here in George W. Bush's America, this American President applauds and shouts "way to go!".

Doesn't anyone wonder why he won't speak up about Mexico's antics? Why won't he do what's right for America and order the illegal aliens to go home where they belong, that his people have had enough. He has the power to do this, and if they don't go, he has the power to deport them.

His pi** poor speech about the Mexican version of our national anthem was embarassing, and it was obvious that he really didn't believe what he was saying.

The rest of the world is laughing at us for being such suckers.

Obviously, it seems you have some type of problem with Lou doing this.

I know that Lou was a nondescript financial reporter and obligatory MSM liberal. Sometimes issues will do that to people. Dennis Miller was just another Hollywood lefty until working on MNF and meeting regular folks turned him around too.

I see nothing wrong with Lou doing this and wish that others in the MSM would stand up and fight illegal immigration head-on. Even the heavyweights on Fox won't comment on this. When was the last time Brit Hume really talked about the issue in-depth? Has he even met with the Minutemen? Dobbs has.
