Dobbs Says He Now Backs Amnesty

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

By: Dan Weil

In a little-noticed interview last week, Lou Dobbs announced that he now supports amnesty for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States

Since he left his job as a CNN commentator two weeks ago, Dobbs’ has been bandied about as a Senate candidate in New Jersey. And now he is indicating that he might run for president.

But Dobbs became famous for his strong views on illegal immigration and foreign trade. Now that he’s a would-be politician, those views appear to be softening. Dobbs told Spanish-language network Telemundo he now supports a plan to legalize millions of undocumented workers, a stance he long lambasted as an unfair "amnesty."

If Dobbs thinks that this enhances his credibility, he’s way off base.

You make a good point based on the overall numbers, but I don’t believe that very many of those votes would actually be pulled away from Palin. Did you attend any of the TEA party gatherings or local events? You would have had trouble finding any Romney supporters in those large and enthusiastic crowds....

He was never sincere. He began doing it strictly to bash Bush. A tool.

Agreed 100%! That said, Dobbs would still be a big step up from 0.

Why not wait to print this until he is asked directly about this question? Maybe those that hate him, are destroying any support he had on purpose? I haven’t heard this from his lips, of course I seldom listen to him, but until I do this is propaganda.

But wasn’t this McCain’s position too during the campaign?

McCain, Palin, Huckster, and Willard all supported amnesty. Dobs says he's willing to work with these people and Oh, My God, the cultist are up in arms.

What a crock!!

Takes away votes from Palin? This guy is a moron, especially now that he’s admitted he’s for amnesty. He’ll be lucky to get Ron Paul voters now.

I saw a poll a few days ago showing he would get 14 percent of the vote. This was BEFORE this pro amnesty stuff of his came out so this probably does change things

“What is wrong with people.”

They are called “Campaign Advisers”.

I guess my sarcasm wasn’t clear enough. I would never pretend to agree with moslems, or hussein, or socialists.

However, how can Dobbs “shoot back” when some leftist drives past his house + shoots at his wife?

He can’t be there 24/7 guarding her with an M16.

I think the socialists wanted to scare him, and one bullet did the trick... he resigned from CNN, and now “flipped” his position on immigration!

Where’s Eric Holder (see no evil) and the FBI on this one? Busy ignoring Kenneth Gladney’s SEIU beatdown and the Black Panther “nightstick fun” on election day?

Or busy importing dirty moslem terrorists to NYC to preach jihad?
