Lou Dobbs: Two Times A Hypocrite

Lou Dobbs is as two-faced when it comes to business advice as he is about immigration policy.

Last month, The Nation published Isabel Macdonald’s investigative report on Lou Dobb’s use of undocumented workers on his estate and horse stables. Even though Dobbs made his career railing against "illegals" and the people who employ them, Macdonald found that he himself has relied on their labor for years.

A month after the initial media storm this news provoked, it turns out Dobbs is getting a show on Fox Business Network. But when it comes to business advice, Dobbs is just as hypocritical as he was giving his anti-immigrant rants: he publicly criticized corporations for outsourcing, while investing in many of them himself and praising them in his financial newsletter.

Isabel Macdonald outlines Dobbs’s contradictory business positions in her Huffington Post article. You can read it here.
