“Obviously, the old boy is losing his wits. Never trust a politician, which is what Dobbs now is.”
Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, the illegal immigration opponent with possible presidential aspirations,is stunning many today as he recasts himself as a champion of Hispanicimmigrants, now looking to legalize millions of illegal workers in theUnited States.
Despite his long-held opposition to “amnesty,” Dobbs now actually supports a plan to legalize undocumented workers.
“Whateveryou have thought of me in the past, I can tell you right now that I amone of your greatest friends and I mean for us to work together,” hetold Maria Celeste of the Spanish-language network Telemundo. (Click here for video of full interview).”I hope that will begin with Maria and me and Telemundo and other mediaorganizations and others in this national debate that we should turninto a solution rather than a continuing debate and factional contest.”
“Many Hispanics consider you to be the No. 1 enemy of Latinos,” Celeste told Dobbs. “Do you think that the community
is somehow misjudging you?”
“Oh, not somehow. Definitively, absolutely,” Dobbs responded.”By the way, I don’t believe for a moment that the Latino, Hispaniccommunity in the United States believes that of me at all. It has beenthe efforts of the far left to characterize me in their propaganda assuch.”
