I'm all for enforcing the immigration laws of this county--go ahead build a bigger fence, whatever makes you folks happy...

But wow--you're really getting self-righteous. Martin Luther King!: Good one..

Because Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech" is obviously the same basic idea as persisting in trying to prove that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii and blaming everything on illegal Mexican immigrants..

And your point being?

Illegal aliens came here on their own free will-------------the only thing they 'deserve' is immediate deportation coupled with seizure of their assets.

The point Deezus was trying to make is that it is a bad comparison with Dr. Martin Luther King and I agree.

There is a big difference when MLK wanted equality for all and justice irregardless of skin color and Dobbs blaming Mexican illegal immigrants for everything wrong with the US and going after President Obama for something as silly as a birth certificate when the Supreme Court had already addressed the issue. Dobbs prejudice is "skin". The exact same thing that Dr. Martin Luther King preached we should not judge. Dobbs is just the opposite of MLK.

LOL...Why on earth would someone think they are being attacked with shot guns when they live in hunting areas? Unless...he is making up excuses, like you said, to make others look like the bad guys.

Total failure...the police think it was gun shots from hunters...

Has gun season opened? I thought it was only archery season, right now.

And how does the 'race card' apply here? The key word that Dobbs used was illegal-----------which has no specific skin color. You know damn well that the majority of illegal aliens (53%) are Mexican nationals.

Somehow I doubt that MLK was concerned about the putative 'rights' of illegals as it is-------------Cesar Chavez of UFW fame certainly had no use for 'em. Both men wanted to protect disadvantaged Americans.

Apparently he is for trying to tie those gun shots to "pro-illegal" activists.

"My house has been shot and hit . . . and you know what, I'm not in the mood to put up with little fools like Geraldo Rivera," Dobbs said. Rivera has criticized Dobbs on Fox News. But NJ State Police say Dobbs never reported death threats. Sgt. Stephen Jones said, "At this time of year, hunter complaints go up."

Read the bleeding heart blogs, and the Hispanic forums. Then, tell us Dobbs is not being demonized and threatened.

Like anti-illegals don't demonize and threaten people like Geraldo and other so called "pro-illegal" activist leaders on forums and blogs? I also don't see you complaining when Dobbs demonizes Mexicans etc on his t.v and radio show every single day.

Those are lies pushed by you pro-illegals about Dobbs. Dobbs does not blame Mexican illegals (or any other illegals) for "everything" wrong with the U.S. Sure they contribute to our problems but your side likes to exaggerate by saying "everything". He did not go after Obama about his birth certificate. He just presented both sides of this story and in fact said that he believes Obama was born here. More lies by your side!

When did Dobbs ever mention skin color or imply his views have anything to do with skin color? His wife is Latina for God's sake! Your side needs to stop the lies and exaggerations and quite demonizing anyone opposed to illegal immigration. It is disgusting the way you are dividing our country by your racism.
