Dobbs: "I support the Minuteman Project and the fine Americans who make it up in all they've accomplished, fully, relentlessly, and proudly"

Summary: Responding to a critical Wall Street Journal editorial, CNN's Lou Dobbs announced his support for the Minuteman Project, in which volunteers monitor the U.S.-Mexico border for illegal immigrants.

During a discussion of a December 9 Wall Street Journal editorial on immigration on the December 9 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, host Lou Dobbs announced, "I support the Minuteman Project and the fine Americans who make it up in all they've accomplished, fully, relentlessly, and proudly."

The Minuteman Project describes its movement as "a call to bring national awareness to the decades-long careless disregard of effective U.S. immigration law enforcement. It is a reminder to Americans that our nation was founded as a nation governed by the 'rule of law', not by the whims of mobs of ILLEGAL aliens who endlessly stream across U.S. borders." Among its activities is the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, groups of volunteers who monitor U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada to help stop what it calls "{t}he human flood breaching our Homeland Defense." The Minuteman Project has been touted by conservative outlets such as Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, which has featured Minuteman organizers and supporters, often without providing an opposing viewpoint.


5i Team Undercover: Beyond the Minutemen

The debate over illegal immigration has divided the state and country.

No matter what your views are, you may be interested in what our 5-i Team found when they went "undercover" and joined some so-called "anti-immigration" vigilante groups. snip

These groups are popping up right and left, most of them off-shoots of the widely-publicized Minuteman Project.

We wanted to see what the members of these groups are like when they're in their own element - away from reporters and photographers.

So a month and a-half ago.. we packed our hidden cameras.. and "signed up." snip

1. Did you already send that link to Lou?

He needs to know what he's voicing his full and proud support for.

If he already knows... *sigh*

2. I can't believe anyone would really say what

Fred Puckett says, "And once you shoot a couple of these son of a b@#$%es, they'll think twice."

I doubt that Lou Dobbs supports shooting anyone. He and I don't agree completely about the way to handle the border situation. I think congress needs to weed out the most extreme view points, use some common sense, roll up their sleeves and get to work on this. geez!

3. Lou Dobbs is the most racist, xenophopic face on television today

4. Yeah, well, like a lot of...

heros du jour around here, Dobbs may agree with us on a few things, but he's not one of the good guys.

If and when leftists or real moderates are running the show again, Dobbs will come out in force against them and will be Public Enemy #1.
