SAWYER: For instance, recently, a new law just in effect in Oklahoma made it a felony not only to provide employment, a job, to an illegal immigrant, but how about this? Provide transportation or shelter? DOBBS: Right, it's already -- DOBBS: Vigilantes? I think that's a law that should be --
SAWYER: Well, turning, turning people in for transportation or shelter--
DOBBS: It's already a felony, by the way to do so. It's against the law in this country to aid and abet anyone breaking U.S. law so we have a lot of people in violation on the federal level. Oklahoma did a, put together a strong powerful law in that state. In the state legislature and that government followed the will of the people. It is precisely that will that exists across this country. This is a welcoming nation. We have, as I said, we're the most racially divorce, socially diverse society on Earth. And we bring in more than two million legal immigrants. Why do you-- does anyone expect working men and women in this country, the middle class in this country, to accept being ignored, their will being ignored by the two political parties on the issue of illegal immigration, border security, the failure of public education, the failure to invest in our infrastructure. Who in the world are these arrogant elites who think that because they're in a branding mechanism called the Republican or Democratic parties, they have the right to ignore the will of the majority? It's the basic tenet of democracy, to represent the majority.http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2007/11/20/abcs-sawyer-vigilantes-going-too-far-combat-illegals

Lou Dobbs is one of the few people on TV actually telling us what is going on.... not the political spin that is always feed to us on most News programs. Our gov't officials refuse to uphold and enforce the laws of the USA. Case in point today, San Fran's city board voted 10-1 to give ID cards to illegals, do you think ABC, NBC and CBS will report this? I doubt it!
Every politician should be forced to watch Lou Dobbs daily!

Well, maybe Diane Sawyer has hired illegals as servants in her home and has a guilty conscience, I don't know. But absolutely no, this is not going too far. It's a long-over-due welcomed breath of fresh air and I hope in catches on. We need more people in the media like Mr. Dobbs.

Yes that is the law here in Oklahoma and the reason for it is for example in Tulsa there are 85,000 Mexicans 56,000 are illegals.However they are only enforcing at this time those who have broken other laws then just immigration laws.They are not going door to door checking for green cards.Many churches are harboring illegals.However every dam construction company Highway construction have 10 or 12 illegals working for them,so the law has past but not being enforced at this point.

Lou Dobbs kicks tail. The guy is just too good. Sawyer on the other hand is just a tired old battle axe.

Lou Dobbs is a Havard grad, self-made man, married (and remains affixed to) a wife of Latino descent, loves law, loves the United States and speaks - albeit with too many verbal pauses - speaks his brilliant mind!
Racist?
Not even worth the bother of chokin' up a chuckle.

Libby is a idiot and a bigot. Lou Dobbs is a hero and a patriot. If he were to run for public office, let's say the presidency, he's got my vote.

If Lou Dobbs ran for President, I would vote for him. Who cares of a select few think he's racist, I actually listened in school and know what racist means, and Lou Dobbs is no racist.

He's right...to a point. But if our Government won't get off their fat...backsides...and do some REAL enforcement measures this problem won't end. Then what do we have? Kids homeless because their parents can't get a place to live. Do you think THAT will stop them from coming? No it won't. Heck half of them live in tin SHEDS in their countries of origin. Something needs to be done and soon. It's unfair to all of us and creating a disaster about to happen.
