There are reports this morning that the CNN commentator who left the company in 2009, and was one of the nations harshest critics against illegal immigrants, had several illegals working for him on his property. In what would be an extreme case of hypocrisy, Dobbs is said to have hired several immigrants, who he knew had no papers, to tend to his homes, and take care of his daughters horses.

According to a piece written by The Nation, a liberal magazine and website, Dobbs certainly didn’t act as if he had any problems hiring these very immigrants that he so often speaks out against on a national stage. Lou Dobbs, who some feel may be able to step into the political arena, possibly in a run for the US Senate, or even President in 2012, certainly just took a step or two back.

Dobbs who continues to speak out against illegal immigration, claiming once that illegal immigrants were responsible for bringing the H1N1 virus into the US, has allegedly hired at least 5 illegal workers in the past. According to the report from The Nation, Dobbs paid one illegal immigrant $500 for tending to the stables on one of his properties. In a typical work week, which the man claimed he worked 65 hours, Dobbs would pay about $500. Several other individuals, all illegal immigrants have also claimed they received similar pay for the work they did for Dobbs.

If the allegations are true, this would certainly kill any chance Dobbs has at a Presidential bid, or even running for the US Senate. The 65 year old radio show host, who once anchored CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, and has also authored several political books, has yet to release a statement regarding the allegations.
