I had (wrongly) imagined that the summer replacement for Lou Dobbs would lay off his blatantly racist assault on Latinos, veiled in the imagery of criminals who sneak into America to rob us with their chicanery (emergency room medicine) and murder us in our sleep. This sleaze is morally criminal in its own right. Even Bush had some sense of the positive role played by new arrivals from south of our border in bringing in our crops and doing other jobs at minimal cost. In fact such immigrants have been exploited by those who know that they cannot complain and they have been used by business to suppress unions and unionized businesses by competing at lower rates for all sorts of efforts ranging from construction to retailing.
I happen to be a port of entry college teacher (retiring tomorrow) who has taught more than a thousand of the most recent arrivals to this country. They are the best with the get up and go to come here. Perhaps my most brilliant student in 40 years of teaching was a Nigerian whom we discovered as a hospital guard who went on from us to dual programs in NYU Medicine AND Columbia public health simultaneously. Google shows a distinguished medical career in process.
Sad it is that the arrivals of previous generations are those who most ardently seem to oppose successors from other regions.
We routinely turn off CNN each night at 6:00 p.m. EDT and watch the BBC followed by Amy Goodman.

This guy is an idiot and a traitor. LouDobbs isn’t alone in his concern for
the vanishing American Middleclass.
The aliens will just have to make do in their own country. If they didn’t
overbreed so much they would have it better. It’s not our responsibility
to bail them out.
We should deport Ed Kent!
CNN is racist. There is overwhelming evidence that Lou Dobbs and Bill Bennet are eugenic racists. Evidence concerning Lou Dobbs is abundant from his daily inflamatory and hateful rhetoric against minorities. In the case of Bill Bennett, he was the Education Secretary in the 80’s who advocated “aborting black babies to reduce the crime rate”. CNN is guilty of racism since anyone or entity that acquiesce in, supports or remains silent to acts of racism is as guilty as the perpetrator. CNN continues to ignore all protests against Lou Dobbs and Bill Bennett. It is in this sense that CNN is guilty of racism
