How about (none / 0) (#8)

Fund the system so that people's paperwork doesn't languish for years as it currently does, and end the practice of penalizing immigrants for filing paperwork in an untimely fashion when it's a direct result of the government failing to process the prerequisite paperwork in a timely fashion.

For instance: Janina was deported and barred re-entry for ten years more than a dozen years after a mistake in paperwork because the government failed to issue a ruling on a stay to her 6-month voluntary deportation order until more than five years after the fact.

And all of this was perpetuated because she checked a box indicating she had come from a communist country when at the time of the mistake Poland was no longer communist--an easy mistake for someone who doesn't speak English as her first language.

Janina is not a threat to the (none / 0) (#9)

infrastructure of this country.  This family started and created their own jobs and she came here legally.  Lou Dobbs isn't anti-immigration, he's anti-illegal immigration and the securing of our borders.  Lou has more supporters than you think and liberal supporters at that.  I think on the immigration issue Blacks will find themselves jumping into bed with strange partners, since they are the ones who are being the most affected by this illegal immigration slave trade.  I live in the inner city and just this week while enroute to my office, I saw 3 roofing projects with only Latinoes working.  The Black men were standing on the corner looking up at them.  I get out of my car and ask the brothas what they thought about the Mexicans working jobs they used to do...every last one of them said they've taken over all the jobs we used to do.  Unemployment in this community, as it is in most inner city communities across America, far exceeds the national avg. among African-Americans.  You can see some of the disparities here  Now and here where are those jobs that Americans don't want?  Or maybe Blacks aren't considered Americans...I don't know.
