  • Dobbs keeps pronouncing Cenk as 'Jen'.....

  • illegal immagration from the boader of overseas and state wide usually drug smuggle on the dead as well as geno testing dna mixed with us dna strans become super animal and human. thanks for the video be sure to send me more tips in the middle class. Thank you sir have a good day.

  • LOL. Mexicans are responsible for the increase in TB in America? Someone should tell Lou Dobbs that correlation does not equal causation.

  • Lou Dobbs has some good points here.......

  • Just wait until the Baby Boomers retire...The US government will open borders and pay foreigners to come work in the US to support the retired baby boomers.

  • @vgcq02 or just kill all the old people...would anyone really care?

  • Did Christopher Columbus ask for permission to come here? Geeee, I don't know Cenk, I don't think he did because maybe the United States and every other current nation in the Western Hemisphere weren't independent back in 1492. So what does that have to do with legal/illegal immigration in the U.S, today??? Nothing??? Oh yeah, that's right, Cenk is a JOKE.

  • I am a big Cenk fan, but Dobbs seems to pwn him here.

  • cenk go back to hell where you came from and take that piece of fried crap lou dobbs the original douchebag with you!

  • Would NUKING Mecca end Islam?

  • Americans get it going and get it in order joine the tee party.

  • Complaining about anti-Mexicano attacks is to 'drive an agenda' DOBBS!

  • Cenk sounded lost here. Dobbs sounded like he had him.

  • dobbs just talks and talks, rather than focusing on a single issue. Circles. Annoying.

  • i always laugh when americans complain that these immigrants come here and take our jobs.. who do you think is hiring them in the first place? is a job a tangible object that they run up and take from people, and then once it is taken, this tangible object becomes thier property? shit doesnt work that way, they are being hired by americans who do not want to pay the minimum wages required for american citizens

  • In this debate they both purposes correct issues. Dobbs is correct when saying that illegal immigration had drove wages down, and Cenk is right by stating that there would be a labour shortage if not for illegal immigrants.

  • Yea man, Cenk just put his foot down and ignored the producer

  • lol at the producer "NO!"

  • @Mattm1986 Lol yea man. The produced is a total bitch and that was funny when she said NO

  • I don't agree with Cenk here. If many of the illegals were deported, or forced to go through the legal means -- legal citizens who are currently part of that little category called "unemployed", would gladly take those jobs.

  • I like Cenk a lot but I'm on Dobbs side with this issue.

  • One day people will wake up and realize that borders are works of fiction, and that we are all humans, citizens of the world.

  • Comment removed

  • NO!!!

  • Made laugh so hard when I heard that "No!"

  • i was lol all over the place... and nobody seems to notice her.

  • Wow. It hurts to say but I think I'm with Dobbs on most of what he said. Made a lot of sense. Although Cenk did a poor job of defending his position...

  • meh if you walk in expecting cenk to be right , thats bias :P

  • Only a naive idiot would consider himself unbiased.

  • No one is entitled to a job. What you are 'entitled' to as an American is equality of opportunity. And besides, as any economist will tell you, the job market is not a zero-sum game. There's no fixed number of jobs. The job market gets bigger, usually, and sometimes it contracts. But long-term the labor force increases.

    The anti-immigration rhetoric on the right is so laden with fallacies, you think these people are all from really poor communities with extremely shitty schools.

  • ok, I'm no right-winger, I'm a libertarian socialist, but here's a fact for you, mexican schools aren'r comparable to American schools.

  • I really don't understand this whole "Check their status as an American before you hire" mentality. Or that e-verify nonsense. Who the hell CARES if some employer hires an illegal alien or a legal immigrant or native citizen? If the guy is a legitimate worker who is productive for the company, I could fucking care less! Sure, one could argue that b/c they're illegal, the corporations have an incentive to treat them like shit, but that's all the more reason why we need a path to citizenship.

  • Certainly we need to seal the border, but it's not like the sky is falling because almost 10% of the country is illegal immigrants. The vast majority of them are hard-working, law-abiding folks who just are undocumented. They DO pay taxes, in fact.  They pay payroll taxes and sales taxes and so forth. And if you're such a crappy worker that your productivity is worth less than a lower wage for an illegal replacement, that's your fault. Don't blame the illegal alien for "stealing" your job.

  • they took ma joobb! ..... nah your right !!

  • There is a path and EVERYONE should have to follow it.

  • "Let me ask you another question..."

    "NO!"

    Then Lou answers anyways. lulz

  • I love Cenk, but I gotta go with Lou. I don't know about disease or the percentage of prisons, but he's right about wages and the need to control borders.

  • Hardly, on wages. I mean, yeah, maybe there's a "depressing" effect on wages by like 5% (ooh, 5%, makes a real fucking difference) for LOW-WAGE, LOW-SKILL workers, like those who pick fruits and veggies. The people who are middle and upper-class and have high-skill jobs that make a lot and require a degree ARE NOT affected by illegals "taking our jobs!"

    And besides, if you're so desperate for a job that you bitch about an illegal "taking my job", you should really get more training.

  • I'm sorry these are just facts. Not everyone has the means to get more training. How is it fair that people have to go through mind-numbing paper-work and trouble for years to properly immigrate, but a poor Mexican (let's get real, they're the problem), can just cross a river and work for cheap in a better country. What America should be doing is helping them improve their own country. P.S., I never bitched about an "illegal" as you call them , taking my job.

  • Cenk has absolutely no clue and got schooled by a real news reporter. Btw, wheres his trusty gf sidekick?

  • Cenk did what he said dobbs does and it got personal for him. You can read it all over the way he talks and phrases his questions.

  • Cenk great interview on this hard headed bozo. This buffon never answered your question as to how he plans to solve the immigration problem. This bonehead built his career off bashing immigrants and in no way wants that to end.

  • lol who the fuck was that bitch? "NO"

  • It's the publicist. hahah yeah, she should stfu haha.

  • WOW Cenk got humiliated by Dobbs haha. He need to stop basing all his facts off that bias paper the new york times.

  • EVERY AMERICAN IS AN IMMIGRANT.

  • not my father, moron

  • the issue is about illegal immigration, not merely immigration across the board.

  • @BlackAfricanBrother Some of us are NATIVE!

  • Normally I think Cenk is great, but on this issue he's dead wrong.

    The real crooks aren't people like Dobbs, it are the wealthy business owners who lobby for illegal migration so that they can depress wages and working conditions of ordinary workers.

  • Exactly! What I find funny is the same people who hire illegals for cheap labor get their legal workers mad at the illegals for lowering the price of labor-power instead of getting mad at the people who hire their fellow worker for less wages.

  • Absolutely! I've talked with people who want to get rid of illegal migrants and punish them, but are all soft on the employers who employ them (the real culprits). It's absurd. You can't blame the migrants for trying to get a better life. I would do the same. These migrants shouldn't be harmed in any way. It are the employers who should be punished harshly. When that happens, no more needs to be done. The problem is solved. When illegals know no employer will hire them they won't come.

  • I always thought Cenk was intelligent...and he is, but I guess he has no clue what he's talking about.

    Embarassing!

  • lou dobbs make a good argument

  • Lou dobbs lied, lied  and lied abt his stands on the issue.

  • Dobbs buried this douche-bag.

  • Young Turds Schooled.But I'll give them props on interviewing Lou Dobbs. Something that chickenshit Olbermann wouldn't do.

  • Federal prisons make up a very small % of the prison population. The 30% statistic is used to represent that illegals commit 30% of the crimes. THIS IS A BALD FACED LIE! I agree with secure borders but may the hate breeders have the hate turned on them 100%

  • NO! - whos the woman talking in the background? lol.

  • Wow. Sweating like a PIG. this is a news reporter? more like a comedy show.

  • Cenk got owned

  • Cool clip,

    the only thing that pi..es me off, is

    that youtube is running ads for SCIENTOLOGY next to it.

  • wow this dobbs character is not bad

  • cenk got schooled, although am a big fan of his

  • 20 million illegals in the past 10 years sure seems like an invasion. But even that wouldn't be that bad, except we've lost millions of good-paying manufacturing jobs to overseas outsourcing. My hometown has a meat-packing plant, and at least a 10% population of illegals. We all can understand that these people are simply trying to realize a better life, but the government should stem this tide for the good of the whole country.

  • It's not the illegals it's the people paying them less than legal minimum.

  • I like lou but he should have told them why the illegals are really here, to help bring down wages for americans so the very wealthy corporations can keep more money for themselves the wealthy run this country not the people.

  • Lou did say that. But more people should say it.

  • Lou Dobbs Killed It On Every Argument

  • dobbs killed you on this one cenk..

  • Any holiday that celebrates "heritage other than that of America?" That pretty much eliminates all holidays. All the real ones, anyway.

  • Both Lou and Cenk are wrong on this. The way to control the Borders of the USA is for the USA to quit giving unqualified support to corrupt Governments of Countries that squander their countries resources & make little or no effort to maintain a viable economy.

  • One last question...

    PUBLICIST: no!!!!

    Dobbs: keeps talking

  • who does the publicist belong to? cenk or dobbs?

  • that was lou dobbs' publicist. it seems like dobbs was doing separate interviews back-to-back and his publicist was concerned about the timing. i understand that it looks bad if he calls in late for another interview, so in some ways i understand the publicist. but i think it's more rude to keep butting in to the conversation than to politely say "sorry mr. dobbs is running late before the next interview." in any case, that publicist sounded WAAAY too strung out.

  • That "NO!" was worthy of a Ted Stevens award for outstanding delivery of a feckless denial.

  • Ditto.

  • @miguelin97223 Haha, she sounded ready to come thru the phone and punch Cenk's eyes out.

  • crossed the bering (sp?) straight from asia. So I don't understand why dobbs has beef with ethnic holidays, its not like you have to celebrate them. I think his patriotism goes to far there. as a free country, the american people should be open to foriegn culture and judge not on whether its american or not., but for its good nature. I don't know of any holidays that are OFFICIAL (on american calenders) that celebrate evil and death, etc.

  • Lou Dobbs completely OWNED Cenk!!! It's great when he explained that they were in Federal prison not State prison. Just goes to show people can try to scew the facts.

  • he didn't own cenk, if anything I say it was fair. cenk DID answer his question at the end when cenk said that the government should make the process of becoming a citizen easier, etc, but I also agree with dobbs that we need better border control. BTW, cenk was getting his facts from the New York Post, even Dobbs dissed the new york post. but I don't agree about the ethnic holiday thing, America is a diverse country, technically everyone's ancestors were immigrants, even native americans which

  • If you truly want facts, you need to check them yourself.

  • I'm a democrat

    but I'm rather conservative on my belief about immigration. amnesty for all illegal immigrants is STUPID. why? because we have no idea who these people are. the point of our immigration system (As SHITTY as it is currently) is to keep criminals OUT and let good workers IN. people hopping the fence could be pedophiles or chronic thieves for all we know.

    but dont bother shipping them out. hit the businesses HARD that HIRE them. fine those greedy businesses 10000's for each one!

  • I completely agree with everything you say, but do you think that the illegal aliens should be deported....I think your comment on the pedophiles and thieves is a bit off, but I know you're just making a point, however I believe that MOSTLY ALL illegal immigrants to any country are going for mostly legitimate reasons such as not enough work etc...and that most are decent people who are trying to do whats best, but in America (I'm Canadian), these immigrants are causing many problems such as

  • clogging up emergency rooms and your country seriously needs to have more border security.

  • I just found out that the number of inmates in Federal Prisons is only 201,000. So 40% of that is only 80,000. That is only 2.7 percent of all inmates. So Lou Dobbs is being misleading.

  • This is the one issue that Lou Dobbs focuses on more than others, so he had a few more facts than Cenk on this. People cannot hear Lou Dobbs above the hate that seems to be coming out of his mouth. The excess labor is depressing wages, but it's secondary to the war on wages our own corporations and the Republican Party wages.

  • this has and always will be a complex issue. both make great points. you have to control the borders to keep illegal crossings to a minimum, but you also have to make the process of becoming a citizen much easier in respects to the whole organizational structure of it. the system as is, is obviously not expedient enough for those wishing to come to this country a better choice than just coming here any other way. people will always take the easiest route. complex, youtube won't allow more words.

  • haha i love how the woman says "no" when cenk says if he can ask one more question.

  • Now I'm a divisionist for celebrating Saint Patrick's Day? Fuck Dobbs.

  • Lou "Ad Hominem" Dobbs.

    If you disagree with him you are a propagandist.

  • LOL SHES LIKE

    "NO"!

  • The problem is if the Illegals received citizenship would they still work in the low paid jobs?

  • Why would they work for lower wage as US citizens?

  • Wow, Lou really impressed me. I've never had a strong opinion one way or the other on immigration but Lou pulled me a little in his direction. He was not easily caught up by any past statements and he would not allow his reputation to precede him!

  • I like St. Patrick's Day, I don't care what anyone says.

    good discussion though

  • .........omg i think this is the first time i have disagreed with Cenk Uygur .......i dont know what to say, the man is human o.O

  • Hmm. I like people like Cenk and Lou Dobbs. I agree on one thing - disagree on something else, BUT - the reason I like them is that they are INTELLIGENT. 3-digit-IQ. Listening to the other guy´s point of view, and then responding to THAT - instead of relentlessly pushing your own agenda, no matter what the other guy says.

    Great clip. Thank you, TYT.

    Peace. And war. ;)

  • i hear you man, but rationality doesn't take a three digit IQ. americas a great nation, we just dont put enough emphasis on education so we end up with people yelling at each other like tribal neanderthals on national television.

  • You know three digit IQ is average, right? Like, 99 or below is functionally retarded, 100-120 is still fairly meh.

  • America should do everything it can to improve Mexico's economy. With an improved Mexican economy the Mexicans would feel no need to leave Mexico and come to America.

  • The illegal immigrants cant leave. Big Business wont allow it.

  • 9900 adleta blvd #310 dallas texas 75243........IM AN ILLEGAL....BITCHES!

  • that's right i'm an illegal, do you really want my address, guess what you stupid fucks ill give it to you.....oh yes and I was born here......so go fuck yourself!

  • Dobbs brought up some points I had never considered. He said pretty plainly that it's not Mexicans fault that some of them are forced to live in squalid conditions which promote diseases like Tuberculosis, and these conditions are much more persistent there than in the U.S. The obvious continuation of that is that unscreened immigrants from Mexico are more likely to be carrying these diseases when they enter America. Cenk had Dobbs on what he would do about it however, Dobbs knew it too.

  • i'm an illegal and i was born here

  • That doesn't make any sense, assuming "here" is somewhere in America that is.

  • whats your point???

  • christopher columbus was a damn blasted liar!

  • We have to have limits. Liberals dont get it...WE HAVE TO HAVE LIMITS.

  • Uh, conservatives are the ones who want less regulation.

  • lol let me ask you one more question "no"

  • Yikes, Dobbs doesn't believe in celebrating holidays that acknowledge cultural heritage or differences...? I wonder what he does the entire month of February, or any month for that matter, that celebrates the history and culture of one group of Americans.

  • That was something of a stalemate, huh? Well, I still don't get Dobbs's position: If not deport the illegal immigrants, what's he plan to do with them?

  • Cenk wasn't well prepared for this interview.

  • wtf was with that women who said "30 seconds" followed later by "NO!" when Cenk kept talking? Maybe Lou Dobb's publicist or something?

  • Dobbs is right about how tremendous illegal immigration serves corporate interests. This also helps Republicans, since undocumented aliens are a large group of working poor whose economic interests would be served by a more equal distribution of income, but who can't vote. The corporatist wing of the Republican party--the mainstream--have no incentive to tackle this issue.

  • I'd say that was a pretty good interview...Both sides threw a couple of good punches, but in the end it seems like both of your stances are pretty similar.

  • You got him, he's fat. No one else talks about that. Good one.

  • You got him, he's fat. No one else talks about that. Good one.

  • Hey, leave Chunk Uygur alone. He does a great job

  • Fat people should never have opinions. Good point.

    By the way, learn to use the English language. You sound like a dumbass.

  • Dobbs got owned at 8:48, Cenk completely shut him out, LOL

    Dobbs' logic makes no sense, he despises illegal immigration, but yet he doesn't want them deported? wtf?

  • Lou Dobbs is just another pathetic TV pundit who exploits the long history of xenophobia in the U.S. to increase ratings for his lame show. The sad thing is that it works.

  • Lou Dobbs appears to be a closeted white supremacists. US immigrants are around 1 Million a year not 2 Million, also Cenk was right about the prison population. Wish he had cornered the demagogue Lou about his lies on this show.

  • LOU DOBBS = PROPAGANDA MACHINE

  • Fuck dobbs.. Ron Paul is the way!

  • It was far too short, but it was good to hear Dobbs challenged for once, even if he laughed off most of Cenk's questions.

  • everything is PERSONAL you retard

  • Ur the fucking asshole... Lou Dobbs and Cenk are both very good people that tell the truth

  • fuckoff retard

  • Lou Dobbs is my hero

  • I didn't read the book, but I think Lou's right, illeagle imigrants take jobs from greedy employers who only want cheap labor to make more money, they should make laws to protect american jobs, or enforce the ones we have , unemployment would have to go down. Right?

  • Any fool can run a business when all they have to pay for wages is less than minumum wage. These business owners are not Americans.

  • lou dobbs is the definition of a xenophobe, against celebrating columbus day and st patrick day because they're not american.. seriously

  • Lou Dobbs is a boss and Cenk is a cool guy. I respect them both but Lou owns Cenk right here.

  • Lou Dobbs is one of the few journalist I respect.

  • the only one

  • I like Cenk..I think his hearts in the right place. But Lou owned him on this. Great back and forth.

    Immigration is not the root of the problem.

    NAFTA is a large part of it.

    Its undermining the working class here, in Mexico and in Canada.

  • I only watched the first half, but it looks from that like Cenk got his Democratic Party talking points handed back to him in tiny little pieces, especially on issue of prison statistics.

  • lou dobbs has some pretty questionable viewpoints and he does come off as very smug on this particular issue.

    but dobbs is for working and middle class americans who could potentially get screwed over by illegal immigration. i think now you can see why he thinks the way he does.

  • Politicians don't want to do anything about illegal immigration because it lowers wages for American workers- and paying lower wages make business happy. There is a professor at Harvard, Borjas, who has researched this. Those hardest hit by illegal immigration are the lower classes. This is why the gov't won't take it on- it benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor and middle class.

  • FACT:

    Meat packing jobs used to be some of the best paying jobs in the nation. They were unionized and workers made around $30 per hour. The owners started bringing in illegals, broke up the union, and now those are some of the lowest paying jobs. People say a tomato will cost $20 if we didn't have illegals to pick them at cheap wages. Did meat cost a fortune when meat packers earned a decent wage? No. I don't blame the illegals- I blame the traitorous business owners.

  • Cenk you're great, but you know he's right. Lou Dobbs is the man!

  • This interview went better than I expected from both of them. This interview did bring the sides together on common ground instead of driving people apart. Great job Cenk!

  • Ron Paul/ Dennis Kucinich 2008, THE ONLY HONEST CANDIDATES.

  • Dennis strikes me as distinctively irrational.

  • Maybe, but he is still one of the few Honest candidates, listen to a couple short speaches. I'm not concerned with the ufo media PROPAGANDA, I'm concerned with real issues and so is he.

  • they say "This is mexico go back to europe" to themselves??

    i kno its unfair the free benefits they get but some are here for jobs and a better life for their children although some come here for not so good reasons.

  • I'm Afghan American, and I AGREE 100% with LOU DOBBS

    He's got strong points, I just dont understand why CENK doesen't Get it? HE DOESENT """HATE MEXICANS""" he HATES """"ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION"""""

    and that BORDER is a JOKE, anyone can come in, and have DRUGS/TERRORISM etc. whats needed is psycho with a bomb, and than PEOPLE will say NO to OPEN BORDERS

    Btw

    I worked at BANK OF AMERICA, and i didnt like the fact i wasent able to get cridit cards but ILLEGALS did!

  • my view on this is how did u say it 'quagmired'?

    illegal immigration is both good and bad

    i think we should just take mexico lol

    y have them come here in america when we can bring the jobs to them and expand our trade

  • Hell NO, its BAD!, I've known people, and im sure you might too? Theyve been here in USA for like 10 years but NO CITIZENSHIP, but an ILLEGALS come here

    FREE EDUCATION

    FREE HEALTH CARE

    FREE ""CRIDIT"" I.E CARDS, HOME LEASES etc, and if they FUCK up, and DONT PAY,, YOU, and ME pay for it from our pocket

    I've met alot of these people CALIFORNIA is loaded with them, some of the most racist people ive met, and they SAY

    ""THIS IS MEXICO, GO BACK TO EUROPE""

  • Plus if get rid of illegals, then wages goes up for Americans! 2/3 Americans don't want illegals in America. Illegals don't do a favor for Americans, Americans wages goes down. Plus Americans paying taxs for illegals, like heathcare, schooling, and s/s. Which add up to billions of dollars!

    All illegals should be Deported!

  • deportation wont solve anything unless you have the borders secured.

  • THAT'S TRUE! I just tried of these people think, illegals are ok. ha ha. Onlything, I see these people, tring to give us more of a hole for Americans, to believe in this crap for Americans.

  • I am voting for Ron Paul! 08!

  • DEPORT ILLEGALS! PROBLEM SOLVE! NEW YORK TIMES IS A JOKE. Companies use illegals them for cheap labor! If they get rid of illegals, then wages go for Americans! God bless, Lou Dobbs! A real American!

  • GOD BLESS LOU DOBBS!

  • Lou Dobbs owned Cenk.

  • I'm glad Dobbs corrected Cenk on his "facts" - but Lou is still an ignorant bastard.

  • lol at the lady on the phone..."NOoooo"

  • Lou Dobbs pwned Cenk. Cenk is obviously reacting to Dobbs on an emotional level because he is an immigrant. Cenk ignores the fact, like many, that Dobbs is attacking illegal immigration not immigration in general. People who accuse Dobbs of being a racist or facist are doing an Ad Hoc attack. In reality, these people support illegal immigration because either they, their family, or friends have benefited or are benefiting from it.

  • If he's worred about diease, climate chagnes will bring new strings of plague. Why not focus on that and leave the Mexicans alone? Why not work to keep out chinese products coated with poison and leave the Mexicans alone? Why not? Because a racial issue gets ratings.

  • News is about facts, no opinions. I do not care how personally he takes it. His opinions on it are not facts. That is where Lou seriously needs to grow up and do his job properly.

  • Raise alaries for those meat plants, and you will have higher prices on food. Not to mention the declining dollar, it's hard to feed yourself as is. These people have two choices. Run ot america and find work or starve to death in Mexico. Point me towards America. Jesus, why not just send them up here to Canada? They want a JOB, not an American job.
