More Commentary"So Long, Texas -- Hello, Mexico!" I think this is a very humorous and certainly revealing look at the illegal immigration and border security crisis in this country through the music of Johnny Tex and the Texicans. • Listen: "So Long, Texas -- Hello, Mexico!" • CNN: Our leaders are ducking reality in Iraq Lou's new book: "The War on the Middle Class""The government, big business, and special interest groups are enriching themselves at our expense. Now more than ever, we're finding ourselves at the mercy of those individuals and organizations that control jobs, provide goods and services, and wield power... The middle class is being picked apart and its future mortgaged for the benefit of a small group of powerful American interests."

Immigration and Border Security Poll"Lou Dobbs Tonight" commissioned a poll to gauge the will of the people on the issues of illegal immigration and border security. We believe it is the most comprehensive national poll that has been conducted in decades on these issues. Click here to see the results (pdf). Required ReadingI believe there are two historical documents that should provide a frame of reference for every American. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution are too often ignored or poorly understood by our elected officials from City Hall to the White House. We're providing these two documents on our Web site for your convenience, and I hope you will join me by reading them often and regularly. All the best, • Read the Declaration of Independence • Read the Constitution
