I don't really follow Lou Dobbs or watch his show, but I did like this article that was posted on CNN's site. Within the article, Dobbs has mostly written on immigration, but he does touch on some other points. It's a well written article that recognizes mistakes that our government leaders are making. He emphasizes and reiterates the fact that they don't even seem to be listening to what Amercans are saying. They're just doing their own thing... pushing the envelope and signing their names with seemingly blatant disregard to feedback we're giving them.
I'm most concerned about the "package" that immigrants are being offered.
Dobbs writes, "The Senate has added to the litany of lunacy that makes up what it calls reform: Illegal aliens would only have to pay back taxes on three of the past five years, they will not be prosecuted for felonies such as identity theft or purchasing or using fraudulent Social Security cards, and unlike millions of visa holders who have to leave the country to have them renewed, they may simply remain in the United States while this Congress and this president give away all the benefits and privileges of American citizenship."
It's scary and a slap in the face to American citizens- those born here and those who have gone through the system and spent YEARS reaching their dream of citezenship. If you break down charges against many of these illegal imigrants (ie. coming into US illegally, Identity theft, unpaid taxes, etc.), just ONE would be enough to be serously punished by law.
What is wrong with this picture??
Also, what's the deal with debating our national language? I mean, really. Why is this such a big mystery?
Thoughts?
