I chose this article as it identifies older american white male view on immigration.

Lou Dobbs is a radio host and former television presenter for American news programme CNN.
This article raises the issue of Dobbs' ignorance of immigrant rights, as he takes a stance against the mass flow of immigration. The article comments on Dobbs' reference to Mexican immigrants as 'illegal alien smugglers'; identifing the slant in Dobbs' views.
Yet it not only identifies Dobbs as an 'attacker of immigrant rights'; Jack Cafferty (a CNN commentator) is also identified as dismissing immigrant rights; it quotes Jack Cafferty as evidence of his racist viewpoint. From this article I identified the contrasting views of generations; both Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty are white Americans in their 60's, this stems the outcome of their negative views on the consistent flow of immigration, both legal and illegal. It also follows the view that America is consistently changing. There is also a satirical view from Jon Stewart. http://tunnelingin.blogspot.com/2006/04/jon-stewart-on-immigration.html
