Correction: Swine Flu-Immigration Debate story

In a May 2 story about swine flu comments and the immigration debate, The Associated Press mischaracterized a comment by CNN's Lou Dobbs. The story said Dobbs called the current epidemic "Mexican flu." While Dobbs used that language, he was making light of those who were suggesting the name should be changed to something other than swine flu.
