Yesterday Lou Dobbs left CNN.
I was not a big fan, but I'd watch the guy from time to time and generally appreciated his passion if not his point of view.
He was right on a number of things, and one of those things was the way our borders are essentially open doors and we need to not only enforce the immigration policies that already exist but also reform immigration policies.
And this is not a discussion about race, it is about illegal immigration. It is about a system that takes advantage of these illegals turning them into what is essentially a slave class as much as it is about the illegals breaking the law. The Americans who hire the illegals, the cities that harbor the illegals, the "advocacy groups" that encourage these actions, and the illegals themselves are all breaking the law and should be prosecuted.
But that won't happen, we don't want to appear to be "racist."
One of the things that I have learned it observing politics over my lifetime is that when an "advocacy group" celebrates what it perceives to be a victory it means that the rest of have suffered a defeat.
"We had hundreds of thousands of people who said `enough is enough,'" said Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition. "That he is gone from CNN is a great blessing and a great victory for our community."
Yes, it is good that we no longer have anyone questioning the motives and policies of these groups, we don't want anyone pointing out when someone may be guilty of wrong doing.
Sorry Lou, you've become the latest casualty in the culture and political correctness wars.
