Adopt-a-Section: The Freedom Fence (Paging Lou Dobbs)
I get such a kick out of Lou Dobbs' populist demagoguery. Tonight, he's on a tear about the border fence.

I'm tempted to contact his producers, and suggest that the corporations that have perverted the immigration laws - pitting us against one another in the Melting Pot - should make up the appropriation shortfall for the fence by:

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP OF SECTIONS OF THE FREEDOM FENCE!!!

Wal*Mart should be good for at least a couple of sections.

1. Fences do nothing but cause environmental problems..
the way to stop illegal immigration is to ensure that there are no jobs for illegal immigrants. If you can't get a job, then you won't come.

In order for this to happen though, we need to end NAFTA and CAFTA. These policies are so unfair and are causing the immigration problem in the first place.

2. I always wonder who the "anchor babies"...
... in Lou Dobbs' family tree are, and whether they got here legally, under the laws then on the books.

3. Some of the Immigrant Groups Should Research...
... his family tree, and shanghai him with it, on air.

David, I know these are among your favorites. Maybe they should be re-run for today's youth (and xenophobes like Lou Dobbs)?
