Lou Dobbs: 'The Dobbs Forum on Immigration Reform'

Source:Lou Dobbs- forum on immigration.

"Not only did President Obama demand quick implementation of immigration reform rather than thoughtful, practical, and thorough policy changes, but his claims of a more secure border do not align with the facts."

This photo is also from Lou Dobbs program about President Obama’s 2nd term. But the video that this photo is from, is not currently available online right now.

Funny photo and funny caption. The problem is that Lou Dobbs is a right-wing, populist, nationalist, mouthpiece right now. Sort of the Pat Buchanan with his own TV show and that’s now what CNN is currently interested in.

And as far as the bogus (to put it nicely) amnesty figure that the Far-Right likes to throw out there: amnesty would be if we granted all 10-15M illegal immigrants in this country American citizenship or legal residency, just for being in the country. Which no one serious in this debate is suggesting should be offered.

Under comprehensive immigration reform, the illegal immigrants would have to pay a fine for living in the country illegally, based on how long they've lived in this country, illegally. And have to pay back taxes for any back taxes they may owe at the Federal, state and local levels. And would be probational residents in this country for at least ten years and have to meet certain standards. Just to stay and live in the country, like holding a job, paying their taxes, not committing felonies, etc. And payoff the fine that they owe. 

So unless you don't understand the word amnesty or are simply using it to score political points, you can't seriously call this plan amnesty in a credible way. Because you're calling it something that it isn't either through ignorance or being dishonest. And trying to make the case that these illegal immigrants shouldn't be in the country anyway. Whether they came to the country legally or not.
