Dobbs Heart-Melter?

This Lou Dobbs-dissing trailer for Under The Same Moon (Fox Searchlight, limited) is fairly amusing. Created in-house by the Fox Searchlight guys, It's airing on CNN today, and particularly on Dobbs' news and commentary show.

Patricia Riggen's film, written by Ligiah Villalobos, is a heart-warming tale of a Mexican immigrant mom working as a domestic in Los Angeles, and her Mexico-residing son from whom she's separated. Dobbs has been hating on illegal Mexican immigrants for years. There are three quotes in the trailer alluding to the film's presumed emotional effect upon Dobbs -- making him cry, melting his heart, etc.

Hilarious. Weirdest part- Dobb's wife and children are Latino.

But are they here legally?

If not, then it's not that weird. I know a lot of Latino citizens who look down on illegal immigration.

Wonder if Erik Childress is having an quote whorgasm over this with Karina Longworth. They're both so mature. Like their sites do it so much better than the old ones. Natch, not even close.

You forgot to mention that the movie was financed by the Mexican government

Yes, that's right: the same government that profits from illegal activity has now funded a movie designed to make that illegal activity acceptable.
