If that's what we are, we should give Mexicans a legal way to immigrate quickly in massive numbers -- with federal help ...

That's something ALIPAC strongly opposes. Over the past few years on TV, in print and on his syndicated radio show, Dobbs has become one of the most prominent anti-illegal immigration voices in the country. ALIPAC reportedly has yanked all its Web ...
Lou Dobbs for President? Maybe Senator First
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 25) -- Lou Dobbs sounded a little like a political candidate when he announced his departure from CNN a couple of weeks ago. Now he sounds a whole lot like one.

Dobbs, best known as a crusader against illegal immigration, has his eye on the seat held by New Jersey Democrat Robert Menendez, the Senate's only Hispanic member. "He realizes that to run for ...
