Iowa Heartland Presidential Forum

I spent three years on "The Farm" but I’m a city girl to the bone. The closest I get to rural life is when I have a cow over illegal immigration.

Folks in Iowa are also fed-up with the influx of illegals. Questions about illegal immigration are sure to come up during the Heartland Presidential Forum, which is being organized by the Center for Community Change and Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement.

The Dec. 1 event will bring together 5,000 “likely caucus-goers” to ask Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich and Barack Obama “how they intend to stand up for community values.” Those community values include a "clean, inclusive, earned legalization" for all “currently residing undocumented immigrants.” In plain English, amnesty.

The forum will be moderated by Cathy Hughes, founder and chairperson of Radio One and TV One (disclosure: I'm providing online commentary for TV One).

The presidential forum is free and open to the public. For ticket info, click here.
