We've lost Lou or did we real ever have him?
All these years he fooled us in to thinking he was for this country and the American people. In reality, Lou is just for Lou.
If he tries to run for office I'm sure this video and his other recent comments will surface.
Re: Shocking Lou Dobbs Video! Opinions Needed ASAP
OMG....Lou really said that "certain illegals should be LEGALIZED!"
This can't be....Lou bailed on us. NO ILLEGALS SHOULD RECEIVE AMNESTY they are ALL law breakers. And on top of it all he apologized for not being able to speak Spanish!
Well....for sure Lou is running for office and like all politicians.....he won't call a spade a spade for fear he'll lose a vote. What a shame since he just lost my vote.
I am now glad that I didn't by that Lou Dobbs T-shirt. :(
I would not vote for him.
He is not good at this; he can only work off a prepared script. He needs to learn to think on his feet, and to put one hand on top of the other on the table instead of fluttering them around.
He also needs to be brave and stick to what he says, or he shouldn't say it. It may very well be the case that Mexicans are bring more cases of diseases we don't traditionally have into the US. It's not racist; it's just the way it is. Mexico's health care and sanitation practices suck. It's a poor country. How is this racist? Dobbs should know how to explain things like this.
Why do Mexicans want to move here? Why don't Americans want to move to Mexico? It's because of our culture and form of government. Dobbs should be able to explain American Exceptionalism and show the Mexicans how uncontrolled migration will destroy the US. He should also recommend that Mexico borrow a copy of the US Constitution and try to figure out how to create their own culture of opportunity and ambition.
What are the certain circumstances
Everyone,
As disappointed as I was to see Lou not stand up for himself, or Sheriff Joe, before we crucify the guy let's get clarification on what he meant by "certain circumstances." Lou has been inarticulate in the past.
I'm as opposed to and morally offended by our nation's acceptance of illegal immigration as anyone but there is a certain pragmatism that no matter how righteous it is that all illegals be deported, it will never happen. Some illegals have been here 30 years and while that in NO WAY means they deserve to be legal, the political reality is that we won't get everything we want in a reform. Sadly, an illegal immigrant could set off a dirty bomb and our nation wouldn't see the connection and deport all illegals. We already had illegal immigrants commit atrocities on 9/11 and there was little change other than slightly improving security to obtain drivers' licenses.
If there are 15 million illegals in this country, would it be worth comprimising to allow 3 million to stay if we could immediately end chain migration, secure the border and deport the remaining 12 million? For me, that would be a win, though not perfect.
The reality is that illegals are voting already. Illegals are reaping benefits. Illegals are continuing to have anchor babies. Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back 100% and so our job should be to first, stop the bleed, then clean up as much of the mess that has been made by our politicians and understand there will be some collateral damage.
I realize that's not what people want to hear but that is the situation as I see it (though not how I'd like it to be).
