Reply #77: Here are the Southern Poverty Law Center search results for "Lou Dobbs"

[UTUSN]

That would be the first link in the quote, below. Besides that, posts #42, 56, 7, 13, 17, 30, 35, 44, 43, 85, 74, 57, 62, 66, 67, 75, and others have answered the o.p.'s question. It has been my experience with topics like this that when an o.p.'s seemingly sincere question is answered MULTIPLE and CONCLUSIVE times, and yet the topic goes on and on and the questioner NEVER ACCEPTS the answers, uh...

From the begining of the "illegal immigration" issue, many of us IMMEDIATELY saw the red flag of racism. One wingnut plaintively decried, "Why is it that illegal immigration canNOT be discussed without somebody yelling 'RACISM!'?" My answer is, because the LEADERS in the illegal immigration debate, namely the Minutemen, habitually MIX the issues, COVER their CORE racism with the OTHER issues of "securing the border" or "protecting American workers' wages" or "upholding the law" or "against OPEN BORDERS".

We are Democrats: We are FOR civil rights FOR EVERYBODY, social justice FOR EVERYBODY, and humane treatment FOR EVERYBODY. We are NOT for illegality. We ARE for SANELY secure borders. We are NOT for "open borders".

Now, as for Lou DOBBS, he might well have many positives from our Dem point of view, but specifically on the "Broken Borders" deal, he is solidly and UNQUESTIONINGLY on the side of the Minutemen. It is INDISPUTABLE that, scratch the surface of the MM and THERE IS RACISM. They offically eliminate overt racists from their membership, but the official members just COVER better. There are MANY MORE wannabe Minutemen who are skinheads, Nazis, and plain ol' unaffiliated racists (more links forthwith).
