ABC World News Asks, Did Lou Dobbs Hire Undocumented Workers?

The Nation‘s Isabel Macdonald says that the millions of undocumented workers in this country cannot seek economic and social justice until they feel safe coming out of the shadows of the US economy.

On last night’s ABC World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, The Nation‘s Isabel Macdonald explained the implications of her investigative report, "Lou Dobbs, American Hypocrite." After showing clips of Dobbs defending himself on his radio show by calling Macdonald’s article "a smear piece," ABC’s David Muir predicts that, "Ultimately, this will be a debate about whether the person at the top is responsible, even though there’s a contractor somewhere in the middle."

According to Macdonald, her article also asks how the millions of undocumented workers can seek economic and social justice when they are forced into the shadows of the US economy, a question that The Nation‘s editors echo in this issue’s leading editorial, "Make it Legal."

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation. This month, we are asking readers like you who value truth and democracy to step up and support The Nation with a monthly contribution. We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.
