Some numbers that Lou Dobbs will not be dwelling on about tonight or ever

http://www.suntimes.com/output/quicktakes/cst-nws-qt20.html

The crackdown continues

From the QT Archive of Knowledge:

*The federal government fined three companies for hiring illegal immigrants in 2004.

1. Three?

That's too many, must be some kind of mistake.

Those 12 Million illegals are coming into this country... Starting companies...
Employing themselves...

That must be the answer!

6. Lou Dobbs has reported these numbers.

I can't tell you what show specifically, but he has addressed this problem and shown these statistics. I remember seeing it. :hi:

9. It's been within the last month, IIRC

His comment was something along the lines of "disgusting" or "disgraceful". :hi:

15. Was it while he was showing the video of people jumping the fences?

What am I thinking? It had to be. He has the fence jumping videos on every night. Thats probably why he can't spend too much time to focus on these numbers. As rabid as Lou is about migrants you would think he would be showing these numbers on the screen every night.

16. To be fair -

If you've watched Dobbs, he doesn't spend all his time ranting about people jumping fences. I'm not his biggest fan, but I will say he is in a lot of ways an advocate for the middle class, and has repeatedly brought up the subject of employer accountability. He's done several segments on election fraud, for which I am thankful. No one else is doing it.

7. Oh, but you see, that's PROOF that Bush etal is on the "Right" track

Under Mr. Bush's tenure, the incidents of illegal employment has been reduced by 99% of what it was five years ago under Bill Clinton!!! :woohoo:

Expect to see the preceding factoid on Faux Views as well as heard on the Rush Limbaugh Show, because that's exactly how they would spin it.

14. GOP hard at work for the corporate world

If anyone is at war its the GOP at war against the working classes of this country. Thats not even debatable. Their anti union and pro corporate stances make this really clear to people who have the ability to see past their noses.
