Christian Right Courts Lou Dobbs

CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, known for his anti-immigrant tirades, will address the Family Research Council-sponsored Values Voters Summit in September. Last fall, FRC senior fellow Christopher Gazek wrote, “The bundle of concerns that Dobbs and his audience have about globalization, trade, diminished American sovereignty and immigration will be ignored by politicians at their own peril.” Immigration hasn’t yet played a major role in the presidential campaign, but the Dobbs invite is further evidence that the Christian Right is embracing anti-immigrant nativism.
