'''Lou Dobbs''' (b. Childress, [[Texas]]; September 24, 1945 ) is an [[American]] [[journalist]] and [[columnist]]. He is the [[CNN]] anchor and managing editor for ''Lou Dobbs Tonight''. Dobbs was originally [[conservative]], but now he describes himself as an "independent populist" critic of the "excesses of [[capitalism]]." He has focused on [[immigration]] for years.
<blockquote>
Dobbs has won almost every award in journalism and he's a best-selling author and columnist. He's an independent populist and the leading media advocate for working men and women, their families, our middle class and the American way of life. <ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/ Lou Dobbs] CNN.

'''University:''' BA Economics, [[Harvard University]] (1967).
==Political views==
Once a self-described "Lifelong [[Republican]]" and [[fiscal conservative]], Dobbs now considers himself an "independent populist" and criticizes what he sees as the "excesses of capitalism." [[Illegal immigration]] is one such excess that he scrutinizes on his television program. He is opposed to amnesty for illegal aliens and advocates enforcement of existing immigration laws, along with a tightening of border security. On trade Dobbs advocates protectionist restrictions in order to protect American industry, and maintain U.S. sovereignty. Positions that are not regularly covered on Dobb's show include a pro-death stance on [[abortion]], an opposition to [[gun control]] measures, and support for the [[gay agenda]].

* ''Exporting America: Why Corporate Greed Is Shipping American Jobs Overseas'' (2004).
* ''Space: The Next Business Frontier'' (2005).
* ''War on the Middle Class'' (2006). "The middle class is being picked apart and its future mortgaged for the benefit of a small group of powerful American interests," Dobbs says in this book.
Lou is married to Debi Lee Segura (a one-time CNN sports anchor, apparently of [[Mexican]] heritage{{fact}}). They have four children: Chance, Jason, Hilary and Heather. They reside on a 300-acre horse farm in Sussex County, New Jersey.
