New York — Lou Dobbs could not resist the shouts of the Afro-American and immigrant community telling him yesterday to finish his anti-immigrant speech and left for some minutes his office in CNN, in Manhattan, then trying to retake the microphone in a demonstration organized against racism. The activists did not let him defend himself.

Yesterday, the march against racism organized to commemorate the day of the leader Martin Luther King, arrived to the building of the American television network where the presenter Lou Dobbs has become the voice of the anti-immigrant movement.

"Do you really know why we have to migrate to this country?", rebuked to Dobbs the native Zapotec Flor Crisostomo, mother of three children. (All three live in Mexico).

The order of deportation has converted this 28-year-old Mexican immigrant in an immigrant activist that heads the campaign "America open your eyes" from her home in Chicago.

"With what face am I going to return to my house and not to be able to feed my children? When NAFTA was approved, the life of my community changed, we couldn't cultivate corn because the Mexican government did not continue subsidizing the fields, in order to import U.S. corn", Flor said.

Dobbs did not say anything. He only asked that they let him do his show, but the demonstrators did not.

Emma Lozano, wife of the reverend of the church of Chicago where the Mexican Elvira Arellano was sheltered for more than a year until she was deported by the migratory authorities, accompanied Crisostomo.

"If the Americans understood the reasons of why a mother has to risk her life to feed her children and finish work cleaning the houses of the Americans, they would be for immigrants. The speech from Lou Dobbs is a racist speech", said Lozano.
