7. Immigrant activist don't have a TV show to express their concerns
Lou Dobbs is supported by corporations so in reality he is in bed with them, they are the ones paying for the advertisement and maintain his show on the air.
Corporation masters know that they can nullify the pro-immigrant right activist promoting xenophobia on TV, they could play in both sides when the American worker becomes numb with such a rhetoric.
If the American worker look at immigrants as partners and ask for the same rights for them as they have, corporations would not have a choice other than to provide same wages and benefits.
