A Texas Reader Says Lou Dobbs Is “Starting To Cave” To Ethnic Special Interests

Re: Brenda Walker’s Column: “Triple” Legal Immigration? Say It Ain’t So, Lou Dobbs!

Walker is so right about Dobbs and his conflicting position on legal versus illegal immigration.

I watched Dobbs’ tearjerker about the pregnant illegal alien Maria Isabel Vasquez Jimenez who recently died while working in the San Joaquin Valley’s vineyards. (Transcript here.)

Here is the e-mail I sent to Dobbs:

“According to U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, each year, thousands of American workers die on the job. Sixteen workers are killed in workplace accidents each day. Ten times that many die of occupational diseases caused by hazards (or hazardous substances) like asbestos. And every 2.5 seconds, a worker is injured in the United States."

“But I’ve never heard you express the hand-wringing, teeth-gnashing agonizing grief displayed on your program over the illegal alien in the field for any American worker.

“Too bad that recently killed New York crane operator wasn't an illegal alien so his job-related death would have merited your sympathy.

“Many Americans work in unsafe conditions, but apparently they don’t matter to you.

“Let's don't even bother to get into the question of how many deaths of law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens occur at the hands and steering wheels of illegal alien criminals and drunk drivers. They don't matter? The liberals don't think so, but we expect better of you.

“Come on, Lou. You're starting to cave from the pressure of those ‘ethnocentric interest groups’ you rail against, just because they're saying you're ‘not nice.’

“Get off this nonsense and continue the fight we expect you to.”

“Her death is a tragedy. But so are the deaths of those sixteen Americans who lose their lives on the job every day.”
