He’s clueless about political economy. Also, he lies. He claimed immigrants make up 1/3 of the prison population when in fact they have a lower incarceration rate than the rest of the population (they’re 6% of inmates and 7% of the total population). Also, he’s suggested immigrants are responsible for an imaginary leprosy epidemic(!). From the NYT article: The most common complaint about [Dobbs], at least from other journalists, is that his program combines factual reporting with editorializing. But I think this misses the point. Americans, as a rule, are smart enough to handle a program that mixes opinion and facts. The problem with Mr. Dobbs is that he mixes opinion and untruths. He is the heir to the nativist tradition that has long used fiction and conspiracy theories as a weapon against the Irish, the Italians, the Chinese, the Jews and, now, the Mexicans.

Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily Death toll in 2006 far overshadows total U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, Afghanistan Posted: November 28, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Joseph Farah http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53103 In the population study of a sample of 55,322 illegal aliens, researchers found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990. http://www.newswithviews.com/Kouri/jim62.htm "The U.S. Justice Department estimated that 270,000 illegal immigrants served jail time nationally in 2003. Of those, 108,000 were in California. Some estimates show illegals now make up half of California's prison population, creating a massive criminal subculture that strains state budgets and creates a nightmare for local police forces." http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/3/27/114208.shtml More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says http://www.gao.gov/docsearch/abstract.php?rptno=GAO-05-646R They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one and half times more offenses than arrests. Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses. About 45 percent of all offenses were drug or immigration offenses. About 15 percent were property-related offenses such as burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and property damage. About 12 percent were for violent offenses such as murder, robbery, assault, and sex-related crimes. The balance was for such other offenses as traffic violations, including driving under the influence; fraud--including forgery and counterfeiting; weapons violations; and obstruction of justice. Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states--California, Texas, and Arizona. Specifically, about 58 percent of all arrests occurred in California, 14 percent in Texas, and 8 percent in Arizona.
Don't do this robin, and make me be on the same side as can of corn! I have already torn up at least two immigration ariticles, one of which was probably from Morris Dees and used to promote hate. Here is a fact: most illegal immigrants are scared of the police. This only makes sense, because if they get involved with the police, they end up getting deported. For this reason, most illegal immigrants are much more law abiding that you or I. For fear. Secondly, and we have gone over this before, what that is proposed and writtne about in the national media do you accept as the truth? Anything, or, just about immigration? And until you can show me ONE thing that is true and that is honestly reported in the press, do not start using info from the press to prove a point such as this. Besides, (choke, gasp, pain!) can of corn is right about Lou Dobbs, and everyone in 4um pretty much knows it, I suspect. Which, by the way, does not say much about your sources to disprove the point!
Illegals demonstrate in LA last Spring.
LMFAO!! I suppose that now you will be posting info on how you.... YOU! PERSONALLY, were in the crowd and verifying that it was primarily illegals, right? Or, did you take the word of the press... un, the mainstream press, for that supposed fact, Jethro? Amazing. All those illegals supposedly in one place, and no immigration police nowheres. Amazing, is it not, how plain that makes it as to where the problems come from, if, of course, you have any eyes to see, ears to hear, and mouth to ask questions with instead of just being a bigot about everything. Oh, Jethro, do you know what is behind bigotry? Ummm? Do you? A lack of respect. Which all together too many in 4um have shown more than a little evidence of. The poorest of the poor in Mèxico flee to the north, looking for work and the only solution clowns like you come up with is to shoot them... NOT fix your problems with YOUR government... Oh no. Not that! KILL EM ALL AND LET gOD SORT EM OUT. Yep. That has always been a winning formula.
If they are the poorest of the poor then how can they pay the smugglers the thougsands they are charged.

Not everyone pays, esp. the first time that they go over the border. Remember, this problem started many years ago, and most of those people are on their third or fourth or fifth trip. Also, many times they pay the fees off by the month; and do not go there about them not paying. The smugglers can kill in Mèxico (family) if they can not find those who owe the money. And, do not believe everything you hear about how much the smugglers charge. Remember, that info only comes from the media; you have no personel knowledge of it. (I do; and there are relatives of mine that have crossed the border for a $100 fee. And again, the ones I know would never pay unless they had to go in a hurry.).
