Lou Dobbs tells Mexican President Calderon to stick it

By M&C US News Nov 28, 2007, 0:57 GMT

Today on CNN's Lou Dobbs, the problems of big business in Arkansas colluding with church leaders and the ACLU to fight the enforcement of federal immigration laws in the state were discussed.

Dobbs appeared live from Little Rock, Arkansas.

Dobbs had harsh words for President Felipe Calderon, who on Sunday demanded the United States surrender its sovereignty, abandon the rule of law and accede to Mexico's inherent supremacy.

Lou Dobbs says Mexican President Felipe Calderon is showing "blatant hypocrisy" on immigration. Dobbs also had harsh words for Bush's "paternalisitic" attitudes towards Mexico.

Dobbs discussed the controversial state of the union address to the Mexican nation, where Calderon established his imperialistic imperatives: "I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico. And, for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided by principles, for the defense and protection of their rights."

Calderon has protested the U.S. government's increased raids on illegal employers of illegal alien employees and work site enforcement. To this Dobbs replied, "Calderon can stick it until he can fix his own country."

Dobbs noted the Department of Homeland Security had planned to send out notices to employers from the Social Security Administration informing them of non-matching records between an employee's name and Social Security number. These employers would then be forced to resolve any discrepancy within 90 days or be required to dismiss the employee or face up to $10,000 in fines for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

He criticized the ethnic advocacy groups and some labor unions, trying to bolster their membership who have sued to stop the crackdown on hiring illegal alien workers.

A federal judge in California last week issued a temporary restraining order blocking the plan, giving a victory to the AFL-CIO, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center, all of which brought the suit alleging DHS exceeded its authority in making the rule.
