(CNN) — Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs said Thursday said neither he nor his companies have ever hired illegal immigrants and it was not his responsibility to check their papers.
Dobbs challenged an online article accusing him of hiring contractors who employ illegal immigrants on his properties.

Dobbs, who left CNN in November 2009, repeatedly asked Macdonald whether he or his companies had ever hired an illegal immigrant.
“No,” she said.
