“Sidney, you can’t very well blame that disease on illegal immigrants”

“We simply cannot tolerate continued invasion of this country when Americans suffer every day, national debt is exploding, we have diseases spreading that are causing polio-like paralysis of our children,” Powell said.

Dobbs did not let the statement go unchallenged.

“Sidney, you can’t very well blame that disease on illegal immigrants,” Dobbs said. “We don’t know the cause of it. We do not know that for a fact.”

Powell didn’t fully back off.

“That is fair,” she said. “But that is part of the problem. We don’t know where the diseases are coming from.”
