Lou Dobbs Loses Antis' Support
Saturday December 5, 2009


Anti-amnesty, anti-legalization group ALIPAC has pulled its support for Lou Dobbs after the former CNN host announced that he wants to legalize undocumented immigrants.

"While Mr. Dobbs claims his positions have not changed, however, that is not the perception of many of our mutual supporters," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "His recent comments on Telemundo and his national radio show supporting some kind of path to citizenship for illegal immigrants is inconsistent with positions of ALIPAC and the views of most American citizens."

ALIPAC has suspended its two Dobbs fan sites after 70% of the organization's supporters voted to drop their support.

Dobbs' flip-flop on immigration has surprised both the anti and pro sides of the immigration debate and comments on this blog have reflected that change. Dobbs has been labeled as a "Benedict Arnold" and a "fraud" by some readers while others have made it clear that Dobbs' anti-immigrant comments can never be forgiven.

Do you think pro-legalization advocates will warm-up to Dobbs now that he has publicly declared his desire for a path to citizenship and groups like ALIPAC are pulling their support, or do you feel that the damage has been done and Dobbs has no chance at gaining pro-migrant support if he runs for office?
