BREAKING NEWS FROM LOU DOBBS ON SENATE IMMIGRATION BILL

Lou Dobbs just announced that he'd confirmed with Sen. Jon Kyl's (R-AZ) office that minutes before the Senate passed its "comprehensive immigration reform" bill, it adopted a provision that requires consultation with the nation of Mexico before we can build a fence along the border.

Ooh, Lou is hot about that. This Republican president and Republican Senate leadership, he said, have thrown in their lots with Senate Democrats and overruled Senate Republicans, an unprecedented event. He aired reports that said the House bill would cost about $1.9 billion as opposed to the $54 billion cost of the Senate bill.

Rethugs, including Bush and Frist, haven't thrown in with Democrats, no matter what Lou says. They've cast their lot with corporate demands for a cheap labor pool. Senate Dems are addressing a different agenda, the impossibility of deporting 12 million people we can't identify and compassion for their American citizen relatives. It's one of those devilish coincidences that they've both come up with the same proposals. Either way, it won't help Bush to be perceived as siding with Dems -- Democratic and Independent voters aren't likely to believe that Dubya has suddenly developed principles, and conservatives/Republicans are furious about his position on immigration.
