LOU DOBBS (HOST): Shutting down the government, and who's going to notice? The principal beneficiaries seem to be the estimated 22 to 30 million illegal immigrants in the country. I mean who else are the real beneficiaries of leaving this government open? It's not the American working man and woman, it is not the entrepreneur who depends on government, I mean just who the heck is the beneficiary besides of course elected officials including yourself, Congressman, who benefit from that paycheck and a nice comfortable office in the nation's capital. The American people in poll after poll after poll are saying they've had a bellyful of what's passing for government in this country.
