Gonzalo - The fact is that CNN took years to do the right thing. In fact their response to requests to denounce lies from Dobbs were always "He is our highest rated show" and "It is what people want." They did not care for the truth, and they did not care if any trouble befell the Hispanics. That is profit at all costs, even at the cost of their integrity.

THIS COMMENT IS IN RESPONSE TO THE PERSON WHO IS SAYING THAT LATINOS ARE TO BLAME FOR THE MESS THAT WE ARE IN PRESENTLY (ECONOMY) I SEE THAT THIS PERSON IS THINKING THE SAME WAY THAT LOU DOBBS THINKS.

I feel that CNN did the right choice to let Lou Dobbs go due to the fact that he always had something to say about Latinos.He may not want to admit it but i feel that Mr. Dobbs felt the heat from CNN and did not like it. He would have been fine if he would not have singled out Latinos as he did its just not right to do things that way. Thank you CNN

The times I have watched Lou Dobbs he always has had a piece on how illegal immigrants are destroying the environment, or have committed some crimes, or exaggerated numbers on how many are crossing the border. He has quoted 10 million illegal immigrants crossing the border every year. He never has segments on how the Canadian border should be closed because they have many terrorists crossing, or how many British illegal immigrants have overstayed their visa and are working illegally in the US. In fact, he has never mentioned how the elder Italians emigrated to the US and refused to speak English. It has always been about the Mexicans, and their crimes, and their dirty habits. I have neighbors who have been criminals and have dirty habits, and who have been in jail, and it has never been about their nationality, it has always been about the person.

saying that illegal immigration is good for economy is same as was said in the civil war days that slavery is good, nay inevitable, for the economy. illegals, who must live in fear, are an exploited labor. that said, i really don't get this business against "illegal" mexicans. the southwest usa has been a cultural part of mexico since day one of its colonization. it is strange the illegals from europe are tolerated by lou dobbs. you never hear him railing about the millions of jobs lost to german competitors or british companies.

Every study has shown that illegal immigration has a positive effect on the local economies, so Delaware Bob, you're not getting raped, at least not by the illegal immigrants. But you should move so you can stop being raped. About 1/3 of the population is typically employed at one time, and if 15million jobs have been lost, there is no way that the jobs the illegal immigrants had would have been enough to replace the jobs Americans lost. In fact, there is probably only about 12million illegal immigrants now, down about 8 million from the peak, and while about 12 millions of them were employed at one time, only about 5-7 million of them are now, a minus 7 million jobs, which could have easily been added to the total unemployment. As far as crime, it has been shown that illegal immigrants are much less prone to crime than every other group in the United States. My house was broken into 3 years ago and my ID's and checks sold, and it was done by my white neighbor, so don't be blaming them for crime. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for government aid, so your statement about they getting government housing is bogus. Either you are a liar knowingly, or you are a liar out of ignorance. Tell us which.

Felicia: Caribbeans are Latinos also. It has nothing to do with race.

Lou Dobbs should be ousted from CNN yes but the writer seems ill informed about the Caribbean lobby for immigration reform. First off, Caribbean nationals are NOT just black and secondly, only this week a group of Caribbean pastors were in DC pushing for reform. So this is hardly a Latino Only issue.

Why would the latinos dislike Lou Dobbs for tellin the truth about illegal aliens? I like Lou Dobbs. I watch him every chance I get. The one I dislike is that Geralod Rivera. He is always sucking up to those illegal aliens.
It's hard to believe that illegal aliens are destroying this Country and some are blind to this fact. Just look at all the problems. The census, count, don't count, crime, stolen identities, overcrowded schools, the American taxpayers paying for all the medical care these illegal aliens get for FREE. Should they be include in the healthcare bill, should they not? Why should they? They can get it for FREE! When is this going to STOP!
Illegal aliens have made America the dumping ground for all their illegal alien children, then we have to school them and give them free medical care.
I for one, am sick and tired of these illegal aliens snubbing their nose at our immigration laws and the many other laws of this Country. If our Federal Government can not ENFORCE our immigration laws, and get these illegal aliens out of this Country, then let the States do it! One way or another, an end has to come to this illegal immigration, and not with AMNESTY! Amnesty will only encourage more illegal aliens to invade our Country and reward those who broke our laws and raped the American taxpayer in many ways...depressing our wages, taking our jobs, overwhelming our schools with their ILLEGAL ALIEN children, driving without a license or car insurance, all the crime from stolen identities to rape, drugs and everything else.
How many Americans are out of work right now? 15 million? How many illegal aliens are in this Country right now? 20 million? Are all 20 million working? How about all the public housing these illegal aliens get at taxpayers expense, like obama's aunt?
I'm from Delaware, and I'm just so proud! We have 65,000 illegal aliens here in our small State and can you believe that the illegal aliens sent so much money out of Delaware that they built up a whole town and then some in Guatemala.
OH, hell, Let's give them all AMNESTY! Then we will no longer have to call them illegal aliens, and they will all work to build up America instead of every other Country. Wouldn't they? This will put and end to any more illegal aliens entering this Country. Or will it? Maybe three years from now we will have another 5 million illegal aliens and it will start all over AGAIN!...and soon our Country will be gone. Americans are having less children, while the illegal aliens are having 300,000 children a year, and the best part about this is, they are all paid for by the American Taxpayer, that's you and me. Are you happy now? Do you feel the pride?
Maybe it's time for ZERO TOLERENCE with these illegal aliens. Maybe it's time for them get out of this Country and back in their own Country where they belong. When we get rid of the illegal aliens, we will get rid of all the problems that go with them. THAT IS A FACT!

Dave Francis, et tu, divested yourself of all vestiges of truth. If you are going to have an opinion based on lies and hate, then state that it is so. The facts on Lou Dobbs are as they have been presented by the last few articles. He is a LIAR, and CNN has protected their "favorite" anchor, at the expense of the truth. I call CNN untruthful and dishonorable, because they have presented themselves that way. Their answer to Dobbs is always: "It is our highest rated show." or "It is what the people want." That is dishonor before profits. It is gutless, and it is total cowardice. I have requested CNN to correct many misrepresentations of Hispanics and they have always refused. I would ask you to check your facts, but I think it is too late for you, judge as you wish, for us Hispanics, we know what a coward Dobbs is.

Without Lou Dobb's commentaries Americans would never know about the cloaked agenda of the open border zealots. Lou brought the absolute--TRUTH--not propaganda or lies related to the 20 to 30 million illegal immigration invasion from every corner of the world? Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging--FREE SPEECH-- or of the press. Now these ethnic caucuses are pushing to silence Mr. Lou Dobbs? Why don't these illegal aliens go home and try shoving this opinion down the throats of other world governments. NOT IN AMERICA? For decades taxpayers have been the payee for anybody who can steal into this nation, thanks to an incompetent administrations. Its no wonder they want Lou off the air, these ethnic caucuses--DON'T LIKE THE UGLY TRUTH?
-->THIS IS THE MAJOR REASON WE NEED A PERMANENT E-VERIFY, FOR EVERY PERSON WHO IS EMPLOYED? NOT JUST FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD?
Call and blast your Senators and Representative at 202-224-3121 in Washington. Overwhelming the switchboard with your calls, as it is having an outstanding effect of--MILLIONS of angry voters. THEY ARE BEGINNING TO LISTEN AND REACT? INFORM THEM DO YOUR DUTY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES ON RE-ELECTION DAY? Tell them you want a PERMANENT E-Verify for--EVERY WORKER, a secure double layer fence and--REAL--enforcement against sanctuary state policies. Read undisclosed facts, statistics and lawmakers immigration enforcement grades of politicians at NUMBERSUSA. UNEARTH the corruption in government at JUDICIAL WATCH. Your voice is needed to halt OVERPOPULATION and American Worker survival. Demand NO-MORE-AMNESTIES. They should--GO--home and come through the front door, like millions of honest legal immigrants? Report any irregularities in your workplace to ICE. Be a patriotic American, Whistle-Blower and inform of illegal activity to ICE. Your job--COULD BE NEXT?
