Dobbs on 60 Minutes
I caught 60 Minutes tonight, featuring a story about Lou Dobbs. A lot of the story was devoted, of course, to Dobbs' views on illegal immigration. During the course of the story, they made a rather cryptic comment. After noting that Dobbs' wife is of Hispanic heritage, and that her parents live with them, they stated that this was a contradiction of his illegal immigration views. They never explained how this was contradictory, so we the viewer are left to try to figure it out for ourselves. (Pretty sloppy, that.) The only thing I can figure is that 60 Minutes is accusing either Mrs. Dobbs or her parents, or both, of being illegal immigrants. They don't even establish that any of them are immigrants, let alone illegal ones, but then make this veiled accusation.
If that is not the accusation and the source of the contradiction, what else could it be? Being Hispanic is about as relevant to the illegal immigration debate as liking chocolate chip ice cream. Being a legal immigrant is about as relevant to the discussion as liking tacos. They might as well say Dobbs drinks Corona beer but opposes illegal immigration, what a contradiction.
