PG, you've been on CD long enough and i'm sure you've been keeping an eye on politics, I recall when this piece was floating around. Not only was it getting support from Democrats, but at the time it was also getting support from Republicans. When the 2008 campaign started heating up, it was abandoned.

LMAO. Hilarious the length you all will go on this fear mongering. Page out of FAUX news handbook. LMAO
So you are saying that CNN did fear mongering in 2007? Thats rather humorous since you went off on a tangent about "Faux" while ignoring that you just admitting CNN did one..

Funny there is no info on this on CNN, Politico, PBS, TheDailyBeast ...... even FOX. You would think there would be, wouldn't you? Wow, I agree, what length's some will go.

I remembered it being talked about in 2008, but that doesnt mean Congress didnt renew the discussion.

why would this have been hard to believe it was a current discussion considering the comments are all less than a week old..

I suspect that was just one of the earlier nails in Lou's coffin.

The way the OP started the thread, yes it was fearmongering. Backpeddle if you'd like. I recalled the bill which is why I pointed out this was an old story, a old bill that quickly died when folks ran out with the pitch forks. I was one of them.

The fact that your attempting to sugar coat the misleading attempt of "new breaking information" from the OP is even funnier.

Never said anything in here about though ... I thought that all of the sharpies in here already knew this kind of thing was going on ...

Oh, and to the gentleman who didn't think old Lou worked at CNN? ... ya you .. the one in the back row ...

Lou Dobbs worked at CNN for 29 years

Ok..if we're posting foolishness from 2007, I got have fun with that. Bush was in full implode mode by then..Just because Lou Dobbs believes something doesn't mean CNN does. I guess Combs spoke for foxnews during his run with them.

Forget that it is old, it still is telling about the mind set of the Dems in Congress (the leadership is the same). You can be assured if they succeed in ramming through cap and tax and healthcare, this crap sandwich won't be far behind.

Correction 2007 discussion. Once the word Amnesty was thrown around by BOTH SIDES and their voters got a hold of these conversations, needless to say they zipped it up. Now the conversations by BOTH sides is "path to citizenship". This is ONE of those hot subject I definately keep a close watch on.

Mindset of BOTH the DEMS and REPUBLICANS. The discussion now is PATH TO CITIZENSHIP. Maybe you should move away from the old 2007 discussion and stay in the loop on 2009. Both sides are trying to sneak this subject in under the radar.
