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-choice stance on abortion, an opposition to gun control measures, and support for the gay agenda.
