Dobbs, under scrutiny for his immigration rhetoric from Democracia USA and other Latino organizations, resigned last night. It’s further proof that there is no place for hate in the immigration debate. In rapid response mode now. More soon.
Woo hoo!!!

Alicia, your efforts in this endeavor are to be applauded! I also applaud CNN for attempting to return to reporting and not, as they say, “opinion”.
While it is highly likely Dobbs may join the network of biased opinion and hate, i.e. Fox News, there is hope.
Thank you for your tireless efforts and moreover, for you not being afraid to express honest, original thoughts.
Anyone can fear monger and imitate authentic journalism. Dobbs faked it for decades. Now it is your turn.
Well you know that Dobbs will have a much bigger audience now that he is going on FOX….I’d love to see you and Dobbs square off……on Hannity not on MTV’s Celebrity Death Match or anything like that! I’d bet you would win though!
I think Dobbs is leaving because of calculated career timing and not because of scrutiny.
If you are up to the challenge, I’m gonna send Hannity a tweet and request you debate him!
Resigns to run for NJ Senate against your dad? Wouldn’t that be the height of irony.
Sorry, Alicia. You are a world class babe and all, but it is laughable to accuse Lou Dobbs of injecting hate into the immigration debate. He consistently blames the American and Mexican governments rather than the immigrants themselves, and he is in favor of increased legal immigration – hardly the nativist xenophone the pro-amnesty side likes to call him… and every other critic of illegal immigration.
Er… “xenophobe”. How embarrassing.
