Debating Lou Dobbs Stance On Immigration : NPR.
The immigration debate is a staple of conservative talk radio. More than 40 conservative radio hosts came to Washington this week, pressuring Congress to deny undocumented immigrants health care coverage. CNN anchor Lou Dobbs was among those holding their feet to the fire. Roberto Lovato, a journalist and activist who’s waged a campaign to get Lou Dobbs off the air, called for “Basta Dobbs” or “Enough, Dobbs.” Also joining the conversation is Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform and Rick Rodriguez, a journalism professor at Arizona State University. The two talk with guest host Mandalit del Barco about the tenor of the debate and whether some of the rhetoric should be considered hate speech.
