Seems the onetime champion of anti-immigration activists — now mulling a run for office — has ticked off his one-time allies by suggesting he'd back a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC says it's so mad it's withdrawing support for the former CNN anchor, including suspending websites that championed Dobbs for president.
William Gheen of the group says Dobb's recent comments on Telemundo and his national radio show "supporting some kind of path to citizenship for illegal immigrants is inconsistent with positions of ALIPAC and the views of most American citizens."
ALIPAC says it was the first national organization to call on Dobbs to run for president. Now it's shuttering its two Dobbs fan websites: The Facebook "Draft Lou Dobbs for President or US Senate" and the fan site www.LouDobbsForPresident.org.
