Over time, every wave of immigration to the Usa has faced violence and fear, particularly during times of economic difficulty, political uncertainty, or war:

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

-- During the "Red Scare"[2] of the 1920's, thousands of foreign-born people thought of political radicalism were arrested and brutalized; many were deported without a 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 on behalf of the U.S. government. The regulation stated that government actions were predicated 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 particularly those of Latino descent are now being lambasted and called thieves, thieves and illegal "disease carriers."

-- A lot more disturbing is that some black Americans have joined the train of "Dixie White America" in continuously applying concern and misinformation, which instigates hate crimes against immigrants.

The "Immigrant" is practically as frightened as was the "Negro" during the peak years of racial segregation in America. Police raids are sending ripples of fear throughout immigrant communities all around the United States. Vigilantism by racist organizations like the "Minutemen," is rising. Individuals are being torn apart haphazardly, and futures are being destroyed indiscriminately.

This anti-immigrant campaign is extremely 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 as the supply of Germany's economic woes. In the Usa, Lou Dobbs has insinuated again and again that the financial issues of the "middle class" is just a direct results of U.S. jobs being exported overseas and that immigrants are both stealing jobs from Americans and/or driving down wages. There's some truth in the "wage" element of this declaration, but without bothering to describe the "mechanics" of this state, Lou's over simplification benefits in "uninformed" contempt by his audiences of immigrants in general.

2. In Nazi Germany, readers were continually reminded of the battle of the Nazi Party and Germany against foreign enemies and internal enemies, specially Jews. In our United States, Lou Dobbs often tells his audience, that millions of foreigners and legal illegal immigrants are running wild in the United States, quite despite official statistics. He frequently invites "white-supremacists"[5] and demagogue politicians from racially intolerant constituencies, as commentators and analysts 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 guests invited to Mr. Dobbs' shows are consistently scolded and lambasted because of their position. To stir the pot further, Mr. Dobbs' always ends his SHOWS with un-scientific impromptu forms, which are always skewed and probably doctored -- maliciously shown as the view of the majority.

3. Propagandists praised Germany as the sole 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 issue of English as 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 regularly by Lou Dobbs and co., to drive fear up the spines of Americans.

4. As infection carriers, contaminants of the pure German race -- lately Lou Dobbs and despite being confronted with undeniable evidence to the contrary, maintained his claim that there have been 7,000 new cases of leprosy[6] in the U.S Jews in Nazi Germany were branded. Recently attributing the boost to "unscreened illegal immigrants." Such reckless utterances in mainstream media, only help to embolden hate groups -- who collect often to keep the 'Cradle of the Confederacy' safe from leprosy, pedophiles, Spanish and widespread godlessness[7].

In 2007, history is repeating itself.

Lou Dobbs along with a swarm of significant right-wing commentators, buoyed by nasty politicians like Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Duncan Hunter of California, are playing a key part in fomenting anti-immigrant anxiety -- stroking the fires of racist extremism and fueling a dramatic growth in hate groups.

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

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

In terms of I'm concerned, any person who has lived in the Usa for several years, has participated fully in the device, and has number felonious mis-deeds, belongs here and ought to be treated with some regard -- the firm stand -- "depot them all," "we really are a country of laws" -- is a smokescreen for -- "we hope this good old USA was hundreds of lily white." ...a practical tool for extortion. It's not just inhuman but additionally bigoted to the core.

The racist and vicious history of this country relates.

The U.S. Constitution doesn't give foreigners the right to enter the U.S. But once here, it shields them from discrimination based on race and national origin and from arbitrary treatment by the federal government.

Immigrants pay and work taxes; legal immigrants are subject to the military draft. Many immigrants have lived in this country for decades, married U.S. People, and raised their U.S.-citizen kids. Laws that punish them violate their basic 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 problem immensely torturous, or even impossible.

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

When Lou Dobbs entirely ignores the "positives" and as an alternative inflames and distorts the "negatives," he is criminally inciting the population -- some of who're willing to physically eliminate anybody they could classify as an "illegal immigrant."

In a where racism is held back check by a of laws (which aren't always consistently and fairly applied), I submit that this "distortionist" journey which CNN and Lou Dobbs are involved in, isn't only very hazardous, but negates any development this country has made in race relations, and diminishes America's position as symbolic of justice world wide.

This "town hall" gathering in terms of I am concerned, was a hate meeting" -- skillfully woven in to the fabric of mainstream media for profit and to market racial division -- a pattern improved by Fox News, the "UnFair and Totally UnBalanced" garbage information station.

There is a need to understand this problem smartly, humanely and with equity, for no body really wants to be struck by Osama Bin Laden and his cohorts -- secure the borders, but let all those who've been surviving in the shadows emerge and be counted. You can bet the ones may carry on covering, 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 is definitely an important process in the war against Terrorism. They will be driven by scare tactics further underground -- which makes it harder to get and monitor the hard-core legal ones, who I submit do not belong in virtually any culture.

America is a country of immigrants -- the stream of immigrants must be controlled and governed, but we must not permit the situation to be hijacked and used to move the racist agenda of the "propagandist extortionists" like Lou Dobbs, right wing political demagogues and risky 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 I applaud them. Ideally a long-term and reasoned comprehensive solution is going to be attained in due course.
