Lou Dobbs' daily 'Broken Borders' CNN segment has focused on immigration for years.
But there's one issue Dobbs just won't take on.
By Heidi Beirich and Mark Potok
.... For more than two years now, Dobbs has served up a populist approach to immigration on nightly segments of his newscast entitled "Broken Borders."

He has covered the same issues, and the same anti-immigration leaders, time after time after time. In recent months,
Dobbs has run countless upbeat reports on the "citizen border patrols" that have sprung up around the country since last April's Minuteman Project, a paramilitary effort to seal the Arizona border.
But there's one thing Lou Dobbs won't do. No matter what others report about the movement,
Dobbs has failed to present mounting and persistent
evidence of anti-Hispanic racism in anti-immigration groups and citizen border patrols. ....
