Lou Dobbs, Why Are You So Angry?

On the day that it was revealed that the NSA has been spying on all of us with the help of major corporations, as Bush attempts to put a military man in charge of the traditionally civilian CIA, and as billions in tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans moves forward while the working class struggle to pay for basic health care, it makes sense that Lou Dobbs is furious with Bush. Except his beef with the President is over immigration, not the war, the spying, the attack on civil liberties, the massive inequality. Immigration - which many would argue has benefitted this nation whether legal or illegal. That is the crisis that has Dobbs using this fiery rhetoric:

The problem in our lack of border security and illegal immigration is becoming increasingly obvious: two political parties that are beholden to corporate America, the largest employers of illegal aliens, and the leadership of both parties that are selling out American citizens in search of cheap labor and political advantage. How dumb do you all think we are?

Pretty dumb. He goes on to write, "Over the next few days on my broadcast, I'm going to make a suggestion that I hope may help the leadership of both the Republican and Democratic parties begin to take some notice of our laws and our expectations that those laws be enforced." Surely he realizes that Congress creates laws. It creates, and destroys laws. Remember Mr. Dobbs, at one time we had prohibition, at one time women could not vote, at one time African Americans had to ride on the back of buses. Since then laws changed and new laws took their place. This is exactly what Congress may be contemplating (though I'm not as optimistic as Dobbs is pessimistic). So don't go ballistic over law and order issues. What else do you got?
