The Dobbs Retort: Workin' Man Blues

Pretty good wire story in the Star-Telegram on Sunday about the economics of immigration. You can read the full story here, but I like this part:

People say immigrants are feckless and lazy. But in California in 2004, 94 percent of undocumented men ages 18 to 64 were in the work force, compared with 82 percent of native-born men. Far from being part of a shiftless underclass, the act of coming to the United States makes immigrants among the most upwardly mobile groups in the nation, only a bit behind hedge-fund managers.

So, as our title suggests, Lou Dobbs can (insert swear involving auto-stimlulation here.)
