Lou Dobbs Weighs In On Bustamante Visit
By Greg L | 7 June 2008 | Prince William County | 16 Comments
Last night Lou Dobbs covered the outrage of Jorge Bustamante coming to Prince William County in order to investigate what Mexicans Without Borders characterized as “human rights violations” against immigrants. As always, Lou does a great job on this issue.

Thank you Supervisor Stewart - for standing up for the CITIZENS of the county!
If the is unofficial, then why is he even coming? Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.
To give the illegals hope that the powerful UN can help their plight I’m sure.

PWC is basically getting the s**t kicked out of them because they are standing up for the laws that govern this nation. Little wonder why others are fearing standing up! However, it would certainly send a strong message along way IF the entire Board of Supervisors were standing up straight and tall alongside of Chairman Stewart.
Here is a website that is dedicated to telling the stories of forgotten citizens who still hope that their American dream will not be extinguished.

Why did Stewart agree to meet with this man? I don’t get it! He doesn’t deserve the time of day from our BOCS.
There will be the usual commenters here who will say we should treat
this “visitor to our county” with great respect but I am in agreement with
starryflights that he doesn’t deserve an iota of respect.
Why isn’t this visit as great an “honor” as the Obama pooped out pep rally last week? What say you, liberals?
Will they let victims of illegal aliens speak to this man? I don’t think so. I find it amusing that it was implied that Bustamante was here officially and when people started questioning why the U.N. was coming to PWC we are told it is unofficial.
On a side note - Did anyone see the report from Lou Dobbs on the Bradley Project about the identiy crisis in America
in a survey of fifth graders Only seven of 100 could explain why the date of July 4, 1776 is significant and why.
Forty-five percent of Americans between the age of 18 and 34, when asked, responded that international law should trump the U.S. Constitution whenever there is a conflict.
On the 2006 National Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) Civics Test, the majority of eighth
graders could not explain the purpose of the
Declaration of Independence. Only five percent
of seniors could accurately describe the way
presidential power can be checked by Congress
and the Supreme Court.

Our BOCS and Chairman County Stewart shoudn’t waste a minute of their time on this.
The trouble makers behind this stunt do not represent the voice of our community. Our community united to drive them away, our BOCS listened, acted, and it’s working.
It’s liberal media trying to create a story that isn’t there. Shame on Lou Dobb’s for participating.
Citizen 12,
That’s why it is incumbent upon parents to take an active role in their children’s education. I was a PhD student at Catholic Univ studying Medieval History when the radical swing toward “revisionist history” really got going, and I saw first-hand the refocusing of educators away from Western history and ideas toward the ultimate goal of “anything Western is bad” Bet your behind that my boy will learn to think for himself and question garbage when he hears it. We can make a difference!
Time for the revolution!

starryflights, on first reaction, i felt the same way that you did. then i started thinking about it. i remembered that Ms. Lyalls gave our BCOS one time slot to meet this UN posser. and if they couldn’t meet at that time (after all, they all have jobs and schedules, and are all booked in their daily lives), she could have said that the BCOS declined to meet with this guy. nevermind that the BCOS had one week’s notice as to the one time the UN guy was available to meet with them. so Corey is spiking her PR guns, and i say good for him!
i also hope that Corey will ask for whatever credentials have been issued by the State Department for a UN official to meet with the elected head of a government entity. no credentials? this meeting is over. preceedures must be followed, no matter what Ms. Lyalls thinks.
The board and/or Stewart should not, under any circumstances, meet with this troublemaker. Bustamante has no legal or official standing and he should not be honored with a meeting which would only serve to raise his status and the status of Mexicans Without Borders.
ceejay,
I agree. Ask for the proper paperwork from them in regards to the meeting. I would, if I was Chairman Stewart, call a press conference and let them know the UN farce didn’t have the proper clearances to speak to them and therefore was not given the time he wanted to discuss the items they wanted to discuss. This is a timing thing as well, this has to be done before lyall and her ilk can push out the fabricated reason. There are rules and procedures and I am feeling pretty confident that lyall and the MWB group have not secured the proper State Dept. paperwork to allow this man to meet with our BOCS.
Since they didn’t have the proper paperwork, Chairman Stewart can push them out the door and they can not say a word about it.
Of course, this may very well be in the works as we speak!!

Lou Dobbs is in FAVOR of PWC and the immigration crackdown…if you watched the video clip you can see that he and his reporter are stating that Bustamante has no reason to be here, and they have some nice clips of Chairman Stewart where he’s allowed to speak his piece in full, and show that Bustamante has no reason to come to PWC because there are no county-sponsored or county-condoned human rights violations occuring against illegal immigrants. They point out that Bustamante is the father of one of the request for dual-citizenship between the US and Mexico. I think it’s a great piece and one of the first times I’ve seen this issue in a positive light from the media.
Thankfully Bustamante thought better of coming here, official or otherwise…although it sure would’ve been interesting to see things would’ve panned-out.
