		<description>"For those defenders of CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who more than any other
mainstream pundit parlays race baiting, anti-immigrant venom into media
ratings"

Now wait a minute, being anti-immigration is not the same as race baiting. I can appreciate Dobbs position on this. The law of supply and demand does extend to labor as well. The more potential laborers you have available and the fewer jobs, the less you need to pay to get someone to work. Add 20 million illegals to the job pool and corporate bosses get to drop salaries even further below liveable wages. 

"why is it that he turns every discussion of immigration
solutions into border defense and ultimately a multi-billion dollar
boondoggle wall that sponsors insist (like the Israelis) on calling a
fence?"

The Isreali use of a fence to divide and conquer as part of their war of aggression to steal Palestinian lands does not bear any resemblance to the idea of creating a fence to try and stem immigration. And secondly asking why Dobbs mentions the fence idea whenever stopping immigration comes up is like asking why someone mentions Watergate every time Nixon resigning is brought up. You can't stop the immigration without a physical barrier just like Nixon would not have resigned had their been no Watergate scandal. In both cases it's an integral part of the discussion.</description>

		<description>"harsh, unforgiving and strictly
enforced penalties on employers of illegal immigrants would stem the
tide "

Now that we have  asset seizure with no due process for drug possession, we may as well extend it to the employers (exploiters) of illegals. Third strike and they lose their enterprise. Confiscated firms should be co-operatized. Employee owned violaters could be turned over to consumers of their products.</description>
