Through the years, every wave of immigration into the United States Of America has faced violence and fear, particularly during times of economic hardship, political chaos, or war:

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

-- Through 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 conclusion 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 measures were predicated on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and failing of political leadership," and beginning in 1990, reparations were paid by the government to surviving internees.

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

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

The "Immigrant" is almost as frightened as was the "Negro" during the peak years of racial segregation in America. Police raids are sending ripples of fear through the duration of immigrant communities all around the United States. Vigilantism by racist groups like the "Minutemen," is on the rise. Families are being torn apart carelessly, and futures are being destroyed indiscriminately.

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

Consider the following scenarios:

1. In Nazi Germany Jews were scapegoated whilst the way to obtain Germany's economic problems. In the United States, Lou Dobbs has insinuated over and over that the economic issues of the "middle class" is a direct consequence of U.S. jobs being exported overseas and that immigrants are both taking jobs from Americans and/or driving down wages. There is some truth in the "wage" element of this assertion, but without bothering to explain the "mechanics" of this claim, Lou's over simplification benefits in "uninformed" contempt by his readers of immigrants in general.

2. In Nazi Germany, people were frequently reminded of the battle of the Nazi Party and Germany against foreign enemies and internal enemies, especially Jews. In the present United States, Lou Dobbs often reminds his audience, that countless foreigners and legal illegal immigrants are running wild in the United States, quite despite official statistics. He frequently encourages "white-supremacists"[5] and demagogue politicians from racially intolerant constituencies, as analysts and commentators in his shows -- 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 typically scolded and lambasted due to their position. To stir the pot further, Mr. Dobbs' always ends his TV shows with un-scientific impromptu forms, which are always skewed and probably doctored -- maliciously shown as the view of the majority.

3. Propagandists lauded Germany as the main defense of what they called "Western European culture" from the "Bolshevist hordes( Russians )." In this town hall meeting and as in preceding ones, the issue 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 -- lately Lou Dobbs and despite being confronted with undeniable evidence to the contrary, maintained his declare that there have been 7,000 new cases of leprosy[6] in the U.S. Lately attributing the boost to "unscreened illegal immigrants." Such irresponsible utterances in conventional media, only help to embolden dislike groups -- who get often to keep the 'Cradle of the Confederacy' safe from leprosy, pedophiles, Spanish and wild godlessness[7].

In 2007, history is repeating itself.

Lou Dobbs along 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 a significant 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] illustrates how inflammatory speech on public airwaves builds hate and intolerance.

In the 1920's Nazi Science had just invented the "Magneto phone," the very first tape recorder, which meant that their propaganda might be time-delayed, allowing them to tailor their message of hate for local consumption -- 87 years later, Lou Dobbs has access to CNN's state of art propaganda gear -- I guess Dr. Goebbels is turning in his grave with respect.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who has lived in the United States for several years, has participated fully in the system, and has no felonious mis-deeds, goes here and should really be treated with some regard -- the firm stand -- "depot them all," "we are a nation of laws" -- is just a smokescreen for -- "we want this good old fashioned USA was one hundred thousand lily white." ...a handy tool for extortion. It is not merely inhuman but also bigoted to the core.

The racist and vicious history of this country refers.

The U.S. Constitution doesn't give foreigners the best 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 spend and work taxes; legal immigrants are susceptible to the military draft. Many immigrants have lived in this country for years, married U.S. Individuals, and raised their U.S.-citizen kiddies. Regulations that punish them violate their fundamental right to fair and equal treatment.

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

It's consequently my opinion that, Lou Dobbs is a tactical propagandist worse than Dr. Joseph Goebbels[9] "Minister for Public Enlightenment & Propaganda in Nazi Germany." There could be no ovens or death camps to totally cement my assessment -- nevertheless the many elements of Nazism are abundantly clear.

When Lou Dobbs completely ignores the "positives" and instead inflames and distorts the "negatives," he is criminally inciting the people -- a few of that are prepared to physically remove anyone they can label being 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" journey which CNN and Lou Dobbs are engaged in, isn't only very hazardous, but negates any development this country has produced in race relations, and reduces America's position as a symbol of justice global.

That "town hall" gathering as far as I am concerned, was a hate meeting" -- cleverly woven in to the fabric of popular media for profit and to market racial department -- a development enhanced by Fox News, the "UnFair and Totally UnBalanced" waste news channel.

There is a need to understand this matter smartly, humanely and with fairness, for nobody really wants to be struck by Osama Bin Laden and his cohorts -- secure the edges, but let dozens of who've been living in the shadows emerge and be counted. It is possible to guess the legal types may keep on covering, but the hard working immigrants who've roots in this country must certanly be allowed to fulfill their goals.

Getting immigrants who are here unlawfully to the open is definitely an necessary procedure in the war against Terrorism. Shock strategies may push them further underground -- making it harder to find and observe the hard-core criminal ones, who I publish don't belong in just about any culture.

America is a nation of immigrants -- the flow of immigrants must be controlled and governed, but we mustn't permit the issue to be hijacked and used to transport the racist agenda of the "propagandist extortionists" like Lou Dobbs, right wing political demagogues and dangerous 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. Hopefully a reasoned and enduring comprehensive solution will soon be attained in due course.
