Over the years, every wave of immigration into the Usa has faced fear and hostility, particularly during times of economic difficulty, political turmoil, or war:

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

-- Throughout the "Red Scare"[2] of the 1920's, tens of thousands of foreign-born people thought of political radicalism were arrested and brutalized; many were deported with no hearing.

-- In 1942, 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry 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 regulation stated that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership," and starting in 1990, reparations were paid by the government to surviving internees.

-- Today, immigrants especially those of Latino descent are increasingly being lambasted and labeled as thieves, crooks and illegal "disease carriers."

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

The "Immigrant" is nearly as frightened as was the "Negro" throughout the peak years of racial segregation in America. Police raids are sending ripples of concern throughout immigrant towns all over the Usa. Vigilantism by racist groups such as the "Minutemen," is on the rise. Families are being torn apart haphazardly, and futures are being destroyed senselessly.

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

Think about the following scenarios:

1. In Nazi Germany Jews were scapegoated whilst the source of Germany's economic woes. In the Usa, Lou Dobbs has insinuated over and over that the economic difficulties of the "middle class" is really a direct consequence of U.S. jobs being exported overseas and that immigrants are both stealing jobs from Americans and/or driving down wages. There is some truth in the "wage" element of this declaration, but without bothering to explain the "mechanics" of this claim, Lou's over simplification effects in "uninformed" contempt by his visitors of immigrants generally speaking.

2. In Nazi Germany, audiences were constantly reminded of the battle of the Nazi Party and Germany against foreign enemies and internal enemies, specially Jews. In today's United States, Lou Dobbs always reminds his audience, that millions of foreigners and legal illegal immigrants are running rampant in the United States, quite despite official data. white-supremacists from racially intolerant constituencies, as experts and commentators in his displays -- while denouncing civil rights groups 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 typically scolded and lambasted for his or her position. To stir the pot more, Mr. Dobbs' always ends his TV shows with un-scientific impromptu polls, which can be always skewed and probably doctored -- maliciously shown as the view of the majority.

3. Propagandists praised Germany because the only defense of what they called "Western European culture" contrary to the "Bolshevist hordes( Russians )." In this town hall meeting and as in preceding ones, the matter of English being an official language came up -- the fear that English will undoubtedly be "replaced," by the Spanish language [...a subliminal insinuation that the white Anglo-Saxon culture in being contaminated] has been used frequently by Lou Dobbs and co., to drive fear up the spines of Americans.

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

In 2007, history is repeating it self.

Lou Dobbs along with a swarm of significant right-wing pundits, buoyed by bad politicians like Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Duncan Hunter of California, are playing a key role in fomenting anti-immigrant anxiety -- patting the fires of racist extremism and pushing a dramatic development in hate groups.

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

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

As far as I am concerned, anyone who has lived in the Usa for many years, has participated fully in the machine, and has no felonious mis-deeds, belongs here and should be treated with some respect -- the firm stand -- "depot them all," "we are a country of laws" -- is a smokescreen for -- "we hope this trusted old fashioned USA was one hundred thousand lily white." ...a practical tool for extortion. It is not only inhuman but in addition bigoted to the primary.

The racist and harsh history of the state refers.

The U.S. Constitution does not give the right to foreigners to enter the U.S. But once here, it protects them from discrimination based on race and national origin and from arbitrary treatment by the government.

Immigrants work and spend taxes; legal immigrants are at the mercy of the military draft. Many immigrants have lived in this country for years, married U.S. Individuals, and raised their U.S.-citizen children. Laws that punish them violate their fundamental right to fair and equal 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, or even impossible.

It is therefore my estimation that, Lou Dobbs is really 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 evaluation -- but the several aspects of Nazism are abundantly clear.

When Lou Dobbs entirely ignores the "positives" and alternatively inflames and distorts the "negatives," he is criminally inciting the populace -- a few of who're prepared to physically eradicate anybody they could categorize as an "illegal immigrant."

In a where racism is held in check by a of laws (which are not always consistently and fairly applied), I submit that this "distortionist" venture which CNN and Lou Dobbs are involved in, is not only very hazardous, but negates any development this country has produced in race relations, and decreases America's position as emblematic of justice worldwide.

This "town hall" gathering as far as I am concerned, was a hate meeting" -- cleverly woven in to the fabric of mainstream media for profit and to promote racial division -- a pattern enhanced by Fox News, the "UnFair and Totally UnBalanced" waste information channel.

There is a need certainly to understand this situation intelligently, humanely and with equity, for no body really wants to be struck by Osama Bin Laden and his cohorts -- secure the edges, but let those who've been surviving in the shadows emerge and be counted. It is possible to guess the legal ones may keep on hiding, nevertheless the hard working immigrants who have roots in this country should be permitted to fulfill their dreams.

Getting immigrants who're here unlawfully in to the open can be an crucial process in the war against Terrorism. Shock techniques may drive them further underground -- making it harder to find and track the hard-core legal ones, who I send do not fit in virtually any community.

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

A bold first step have been taken by the United States Senate, and I applaud them. Hopefully a reasoned and lasting comprehensive solution is going to be arrived at in due course.
