Thread: CNN's Lou Dobbs (on illegal immigration, etc.)

http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/e ... usat_x.htm

snip
The anchor and managing editor of Lou Dobbs Tonight (6 p.m.-7 p.m. ET) has been manning the barricades against what he sees as the demise of the American middle-class dream. (Audio: Lou Dobbs on illegal immigration, border policy and terror threat)

snip
He has made his more politically correct CNN bosses run for cover by warning against "Mexican" illegal aliens and "Islamist" terror.

snip
Hispanic activists are similarly outraged. Lisa Navarrete, vice president of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), charges that Dobbs "has become, in a very short time, a very prominent, very vociferous member of the anti-immigration coalition. His show has become an oasis for anti-immigrant types."

snip
•Broken borders. Dobbs, who also writes columns for Money magazine and U.S. News & World Report, cites reports that 15 million illegal aliens live in the USA, that 400,000 are fleeing arrest and that 80,000 are wanted for serious crimes. He says politicians and the media are ignoring the issue: "This country is facing a war on terror while refusing to secure our borders. ... If we can't secure our borders and our ports then we are losing the war on terror."

NCLR's Navarrete says Dobbs ignores immigration's economic benefits and says that when La Raza officials go on the show, "you're just a punching bag for him."

Perhaps if we send Lou Dobbs some at a boy emails he will continue to fight illegal immigrations:

Found a study online late last night that shows there is no economic benefit but rather a significant loss. Will have to look that up again and post it here.
