Lou Dobbs explains his current view on immigration in an interview on Telemundo.

Before resigning as a CNN anchor Nov. 11, Lou Dobbs made a name for himself opposing illegal immigration. So we were surprised to see him a few weeks later on the Spanish-language network Telemundo discussing his views on immigration.
