Obama Knocks Out a "Radar" Illegal Immigration Issue Led to Dobbs' Departure From CNN  American Patrol Report -- November 17 O'Reilly : According to polls most Americans are not anti-immigration but they are firmly against chaos and the quasi-open borders system the New York Times embraces. (The New York Times attacked Dobbs over illegal immigration)     Five days ago Lou Dobbs abruptly quit his CNN anchor job. The truth behind this sudden move is beginning to emerge. Last night Bill O'Reilly made it clear that illegal immigration was the issue that forced Dobbs out of CNN. Dobbs argued that it wasn't that he was tough on illegal immigration; he said the difference was who was President of the United States. 'It is the only difference between the way I was conducting myself under this administration and the previous administration.' CNN told Dobbs that advocacy journalism was not going to be a part of its approach.     O'Reilly said this didn't make any sense since 'every show that doesn't have an opinion is dying.' Dobbs agreed. After CNN chief Jonathan Klein pressured Dobbs to stop expressing his views on the air his ratings began to drop.     Critics say Dobbs was on safe ground so long as he was criticizing George W. Bush, but that the new power structure in Washington included so many open-borders advocates, including President Obama, that the pressure on CNN to drop Dobbs was overwhelming. 'The United States is being invaded by Mexico and Lou Dobbs was a sort of radar who merely reported what he saw,' said Glenn Spencer of the American Patrol Report. Spencer said the Mexican invasion will become a major issue in coming months and those advocating for the dissolution of the U.S., especially Barack Obama, are working to defeat any defenses the U.S. might have.  Watch Past Features
