Through the years, every wave of immigration in to the United States Of America has faced hatred and fear, specially during times of economic difficulty, political turmoil, or war:

-- In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act[1], one of America's first immigration laws, to keep out everyone of Chinese origin.

-- Through the "Red Scare"[2] of the 1920's, tens of thousands of foreign-born people suspected of political radicalism were arrested and brutalized; many were deported without a hearing.

-- In 1942, 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent were interned in camps[3] until the end of World War II....Prompting the following: In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which apologized for the internment with respect to the U.S. government. The legislation stated that government measures were predicated on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and failing of political leadership," and from 1990, the government compensated reparations to surviving internees.

-- Today, immigrants especially those of Latino descent are being lambasted and called thieves, thieves and illegal "disease carriers."

-- Even more disturbing is that some black Americans have joined the group of "Dixie White America" in continuously using anxiety and misinformation, which instigates hate crimes against immigrants.

The "Immigrant" is practically as frightened as was the "Negro" through the peak years of racial segregation in The Usa. Police raids are sending ripples of anxiety during immigrant communities all over the Usa. Vigilantism by racist organizations such as the "Minutemen," is on the rise. Individuals are being torn apart carelessly, and futures are being destroyed indiscriminately.

This anti-immigrant plan is very similar to that conducted against Jews by Dr. Joseph Goebbels[4] "Minister for Public Enlightenment & Propaganda in Nazi Germany."

Look at the following scenarios:

1. In Nazi Germany Jews were scapegoated whilst the source of Germany's economic woes. In america, Lou Dobbs has insinuated over and over repeatedly that the economic difficulties of the "middle class" is just a direct results of U.S. jobs being exported overseas and that immigrants are often taking jobs from Americans and/or driving down wages. There's some reality in the "wage" element of this declaration, but without bothering to describe the "mechanics" of this claim, Lou's over simplification effects in "uninformed" contempt by his audiences of immigrants generally.

2. In Nazi Germany, viewers were frequently reminded of the struggle of the Nazi Party and Germany against foreign enemies and internal enemies, particularly Jews. In our United States, Lou Dobbs always tells his audience, that countless foreigners and criminal illegal immigrants are running rampant in the United States, quite contrary to official statistics. "white-supremacists"[5] and demagogue politicians are often invited by him from racially intolerant constituencies, as experts and analysts in his displays -- while denouncing civil rights organizations such as the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center as "despicable" and "reprehensible." The few pro-immigrant friends invited to Mr. Dobbs' shows are routinely scolded and lambasted because of their position. To stir the pot further, Mr. Dobbs' always concludes his SHOWS with un-scientific impromptu forms, that are always skewed and possibly doctored -- maliciously shown as the view of the majority.

3. Propagandists praised Germany while the sole opponent of what they called "Western European culture" from the "Bolshevist hordes( Russians )." In this town hall meeting and as in previous ones, the matter of English as an official language came up -- the fear that English will soon be "replaced," by the Spanish language [...a subliminal insinuation that the white Anglo-Saxon culture in being contaminated] has been used repeatedly by Lou Dobbs and co., to operate a vehicle fear up the spines of Americans.

4. Jews in Nazi Germany were printed as illness carriers, contaminants of the pure German race -- recently Lou Dobbs and despite being met with undeniable proof to the contrary, maintained his claim that there has been 7,000 new instances of leprosy[6] in the U.S. Recently attributing the boost to "unscreened illegal immigrants." Such reckless utterances in conventional media, only help to embolden hate groups -- who gather frequently to keep consitently the 'Cradle of the Confederacy' safe from leprosy, pedophiles, Spanish and rampant godlessness[7].

In 2007, history is repeating itself.

Lou Dobbs together with a swarm of rabid right-wing commentators, buoyed by bad politicians like Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Duncan Hunter of California, are playing an important role in fomenting anti-immigrant hysteria -- patting the fires of racist extremism and advancing an extraordinary development in hate groups.

This YouTube.com video[8] shows how inflammatory speech on public airwaves encourages hate and intolerance.

In the 1920's Nazi Science had just developed the "Magneto phone," the initial tape recorder, which meant that their propaganda could possibly be time-delayed, allowing them to tailor their message of hate for local use -- 87 years later, Lou Dobbs has use of CNN's state of art propaganda equipment -- I bet Dr. Goebbels is submiting his grave with love.

In terms of I'm concerned, any person who has lived in america for a long period, has participated fully in the system, and has number felonious mis-deeds, goes here and should really be treated with some respect -- the firm stand -- "depot them all," "we are a nation of laws" -- is just a smokescreen for -- "we hope this traditional USA was a century lily white." ...a convenient tool for extortion. It is not just inhuman but additionally bigoted to the key.

The racist and harsh history of this country refers.

The U.S. Constitution doesn't give the proper to foreigners to enter the U.S. But once here, it protects them from discrimination centered on race and national origin and from arbitrary treatment by the us government.

Immigrants work and pay taxes; legal immigrants are subject to the military draft. Many immigrants have lived in this country for decades, married U.S. People, and raised their U.S.-citizen kiddies. Laws that punish them violate their basic to equal and fair treatment.

By "stroking and massaging" the dormant "hate genes" living within the "nativists," Lou Dobbs and other right-wing demagogues are making the method of legislating the immigration issue immensely torturous, if not impossible.

It is therefore my estimation that, Lou Dobbs is just a tactical propagandist worse than Dr. Joseph Goebbels[9] "Minister for Public Enlightenment & Propaganda in Nazi Germany." There could be no stoves or death camps to fully cement my assessment -- but the several components of Nazism are abundantly clear.

When Lou Dobbs totally ignores the "positives" and alternatively inflames and distorts the "negatives," he is criminally inciting the populace -- some of who're ready to actually eliminate anyone they can categorize being an "illegal immigrant."

In a where racism is held back in check by a of laws (which are not always uniformly and fairly applied), I submit that this "distortionist" adventure which CNN and Lou Dobbs are involved in, isn't only very hazardous, but negates any progress this country has produced in race relations, and reduces America's position as emblematic of justice world wide.

This "town hall" gathering so far as I'm concerned, was a hate meeting" -- skillfully woven to the fabric of popular media for profit and to promote racial team -- a pattern improved by Fox News, the "UnFair and Totally UnBalanced" trash news station.

There's a need certainly to understand this problem intelligently, humanely and with equity, for nobody really wants to be hit by Osama Bin Laden and his cohorts -- secure the boundaries, but let those who have been residing in the shadows turn out and be counted. It is possible to guess the types will continue covering, however the hard working immigrants who have roots in this country must be allowed to fulfill their goals.

Getting immigrants who're here unlawfully into the open is an crucial process in the war against Terrorism. Scare tactics may push them further underground -- which makes it harder to locate and monitor the hard-core legal ones, who I submit don't fit in just about any culture.

America is a country of immigrants -- the flow of immigrants must be controlled and governed, but we mustn't enable the matter to be hijacked and used to carry the racist agenda of the "propagandist extortionists" like Lou Dobbs, right wing political demagogues and harmful Neo-Nazi bigots to whom Lou Dobbs has turned into a hero.

A bold first step have been taken by the United States Senate, and they are applauded by me. Ideally a enduring and reasoned comprehensive solution is likely to be attained in due course.
