Lou Dobbs: Friend Of Illegal Immigrants Everywhere? | TPMDC

  • In a little-noticed interview Friday, Mr. 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."
  • Mr. Dobbs twice mentioned a possible legalization plan for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., saying at one point that "we need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions."

    phrase -- which ensures future rampant criminality in the political
    class.  How can those Kenyans not realize this?
