The truth is non-partisan

Tonight (June 4th) CNN's Glenn Beck said government won't "seal the borders," because government and global corporations want an EU style North America. He said fences won't be built because fences hurt business.   

 

Meanwhile, the Washington Post says that immigration bill backers "believe that the voices of opposition, especially from conservatives, represent a small segment of public opinion." See the story "Backers of Immigration Bill More Optimistic" at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/03/AR2007060301455.html?sub=AR.

 

Glenn Beck disagrees with this assessment.  He says the American people are angry and need to let their representatives know that they want the borders sealed. 

 

David Bacon earlier this year in two stories described how corporations are pushing immigration legislation. They want a guest worker bill rather than a bill that emphasizes family reunification.  And that outlines fairly well the proposal put forward in the Senate by McCain and Kennedy.   Later this year the Censored Project will likely name this issue of corporate pressure for a worker bill again as one of the stories major media have not covered.  Business wants any immigration law to favor business, not to represent the national interest.  See http://www.projectcensored.org/censored_2006/index.htm. 

 

Glenn Beck says global business wants an EU style government in North America, not borders that protect our national security.  This, however, is a story that is not likely to be broadly covered by the major media.
