Lou Dobbs & Telemundo Interview
Overall, it appears to me that he was being VERY careful with what he was saying - like a typical politician - so as not to anger those hispanics who were watching, or might watch in the future, rather than stand on principles of right & wrong.
If he had been, he'd have asked the interviewer why Phoenix was the #1 kidnapping city in the world, behind Mexico City, when she brought up the Sheriff Joe Arpaeo (sp?) issue, or the literal warfare that is going on along the borders with the Drug Lords & Border Patrol, or the slave labor many of these illegals go into by the very hand of these coyotes who bring them across. Instead, he was trying to be "sensitive" to the social agenda she was pandering to regarding the hispanic people being offended by some relatively insignificant issue? Please, spare me the stupidity!
He's lost my support!
Lou Dobbs stance on illegal immigration
I don"t think we are thinking clearly on this. We have to address the issue of illegals. I too would like them all to go back to Mexico, but this will NEVER happen. This issue has to be addressed and Lou Dobbs is trying to do it. There will HAVE to be a compromise.
1. Someone will have to close the borders first. Lou Dobbs will do that when
no one else will.
2. There will have to be a path to legal immigration. Rather than a mass
amnesty as currently is the case, we need to have another plan. Checking backgrounds to root out criminals will probably get rid of at least half of them. Then we can set the procedures, etc. for who else will be allowed to become LEGAL citizens.
3. In order to get a President who will address this problem logically, it would help to get some Mexican population and the fence sitters to join us.
4. As long as we say "send them back to Mexico" and take a hard stance,
nothing will go forth except complete amnesty and we will lose the fight.
We need help to win this fight.
5. Listen to the Lou Dobbs interview several times, and if you have more
questions call his radio show and give him a chance. No one else has
tried to solve this. Listen to John McCain and Huckabee-they were for
legal immigration also. If we find a candidate who is hard set against any illegals becoming legal WE WILL LOSE. Let's really examine all Lou Dobbs says and question him.

Welcome Sherry! We need to send ALL illegals back to their home countries. Mexico is not the only country that illegals come from. ;)
