7. LETTERS
Readers are welcome to share their comments, email:
mailto:editor@ (300-words or fewer preferred).
Many letters to the Editor refer to past correspondence,
available in our archives.
(a) Dear Editor:
The Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, does not have any
faults, alleged or otherwise, when it comes to immigration reform
and the defense of immigrants. The Irish Voice newspaper
printed a photo of our Mayor wearing a "Legalize the Irish" t-
shirt at a rally we had here in early February this year. San
Francisco has a long tradition of being a "Sanctuary City" and in
April 2006, Mayor Gavin Newsom was publicly quoted as saying "If
people think we were defiant on the gay marriage issue, they
haven't seen defiance" in relation to whether the City would
comply with the draconian measures proposed in H.R. 4437. The
Nazis were famous for blindly following orders, whether they were
moral or broken, and it is clear that it is the Mayor of San
Francisco who is thinking outside the box rather than blindly
accepting our immoral and broken immigration laws which do not
recognize the labor produced by workers without authorization who
are keeping this country afloat, growing our economy, and paying
into the social security system with their taxes taken out of
their unauthorized paychecks. Mr. Dobbs on the other hand appears
quite content with a system which allows no new workers even when
the Department of Labor itself says that unemployment less than
5% is the equivalent of full employment and that is where the US
is today (see 05/14/07 ID comment). Who exactly does Mr. Dobbs
think is going to pay for his social security retirement with the
US birth rate at record lows?
Susanna Bogue, Esq. San Francisco, CA
(b) Dear Editor:
Although a regular listener to Dobb's, I have no specific
knowledge of this event; however, I agree with Dobbs that the
illegal alien situation is out of control (see 05/14/07 ID
comment).
Andrew M. Parish, Esq. San Francisco, CA
(c) Dear Editor:
Lou Dobbs is possibly this country's no. 1 anti-illegal
immigration propagandist, and his daily vitriolic allegations
bear little relationship to reality (see 05/14/07 ID comment).
Now it turns out that in his mind, propaganda is any opinion
different from his. He has it exactly backward. Although I like
CNN and watch it a lot, the fact that it values ratings more than
journalistic ethics is disturbing to me. At least there is
comfort in knowing that according to a recent USA Today Gallup
poll, 78% of the population favors a guest worker program. That
leaves Dobbs as a loud, persistent but ineffective spokesman for
a 22% minority.
Sid Lachter, Esq.
(d) Dear Editor:
Contrary to Robert Yang's letter (5/14/07 ID), the US does
require minimum income requirements for sponsors, affidavits of
support, and ineligibility of legal immigrants for welfare for 5
years. Take at look at USCIS's website, Form I-864P for the
requirements (125% of the poverty level for family size,
including the sponsored immigrant and any other immigrants
sponsored, except for 100% of the poverty level for US
servicemembers sponsoring spouses and minor children). Look at
Form I-864, the Affidavit of Support, and its instructions, for
the legal binding commitment enforceable in a court of law made
by sponsors. The railing against "chain immigration" as an
invidious term for family immigration is just restrictionist
propaganda to support their goal of fewer immigrants. The worst
thing about the current family immigration system is how backed
up all the quota categories are, which is visible to anyone who
wants to check the monthly State Department Visa Bulletin (found
every month on ). The second-worst thing about the
current family immigration system is that parents of US citizens
are not eligible to bring their minor children with them, but
must petition for them after they arrive and wait for either
naturalization or their place in the quota line (backed up 5
years) to become current.
Eleanor Kaplan Adams, Esq.
(e) Dear Editor:
ID's comment (05/04/07 ID) pointed out that Lou Dobbs had called
the mayor of San Francisco a "Nazi" and that he hadn't offered an
apology. Looks like a double standard to me; ID and those of a
like mind feel free to call Lou and the rest of us who oppose
illegal immigration and wish to reduce legal immigration
"racists", "anti-immigrationists" (as they did in their
comments), xenophobes, etc. I listen to Lou Dobbs faithfully, as
I am now, and have never heard him say that he's opposed to legal
immigration. I don't know whether or not the mayor is a "Nazi",
but ID should refrain from inaccurate labels if they find them
offensive.
jhf Baileyville, ME
(f) Dear Editor:
I would like you to know that the day I heard about [the Lou
Dobbs] incident (see 05/14/07 ID comment), I immediately sent an
email to CNN asking them to fire him. Never heard even a word
back (see 05/14/07 ID comment).
Catherine M. Kiely
(g) Dear Editor:
In my opinion the statements that people make, especially the
statements that produce the most emotional reactions, are merely
projections-- projections that are reflected from the speaker and
from the reactive society (see 05/14/07 ID comment). Mr
Dobbs is fully aware that to compare an organization's support of
'illegal aliens and -or-immigrants would produce exactly the
reaction that it did. That reaction is outrage and is rooted in
the realization that Hitler's Nazism was an avatar that could be
triggered at any given time to exploit fear by displacing the
real issue at hand- human beings currently labeled 'immigrants'
and 'illegals that are being treated in a way that is reminiscent
of the Nazism. The truth of the matter is America is not the only
country with 'immigrants' at the borders. Immigrants are not the
problem. The problem has everything to do with money and
absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. The truth is, Americans
like Lou Dobbs fuel the terror propaganda that is currently
legitimizing the public resurfacing of the KKK. In the mean time
immigrants have become chattel in the minds of the Dobbs Clan and
his 'house slaves'. An apology should be given by Dobbs, not his
representatives. This is called personal responsibility. Writers
seem to be afraid to isolate the real forces behind Dobbs' words.
The actual problems are not being addressed, but rather masked as
an immigration crisis. Does anyone feel uncomfortable knowing
that the 'New Revised Patriot Act' is not readable by the public
because it is considered a violation of national security? Is the
entire public considered to be a national threat? This question
and its answers are much more about the reality of the state of
America than the problems at the borders. Nazism? Who does Dobbs
represent?
Constance A.
(h) Dear Editor:
Don't hold your breath until you hear from Dobbs or from CNN (see
05/14/07 ID comment). I have taken them to task several times
with nothing from them. They have a screening policy when you log
on - did you notice? - they ask if you are positive or negative.
If you are in the last group I think the system dumps you
statement even before it is read. Last week a reporter took him
to task in a personal interview over his statement about leprosy
and his statement that is being brought in my immigrants. You
remember that one - 7,000 cases in 3 years was his statement and
the reporter told him that wasn't true - that here hasn't been 30
cases in 30 years. Dobbs response was that it has to be true
because he put it on the air - he said we never make statements
that aren't true. That is the way he is - now he has rode
immigrants' backs to where he is. what can you say if the network
won't do anything about it?
