Exporting America. Dobbs is using his show and Web site to name more than 1,000 U.S. companies “sending American jobs overseas or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor instead of American workers.” High on the list: CNN owner Time Warner, the world's largest media company.

Dobbs says some CEOs have accused him of turning into Ralph Nader, but “privately many CEOs say to me: ‘If everybody else would stop it, I'd be delighted to end it. Until that happens we have to protect our margin at the margin.' That's a shame.”

Broken borders. Dobbs, who also writes columns for Money magazine and U.S. News & World Report, cites reports that 15 million illegal aliens live in the USA, that 400,000 are fleeing arrest and that 80,000 are wanted for serious crimes. He says politicians and the media are ignoring the issue: “This country is facing a war on terror while refusing to secure our borders. … If we can't secure our borders and our ports then we are losing the war on terror.”

A pox on both parties. Dobbs is a lifelong Republican but says President Bush's “compassionate conservatism” rings hollow when “the White House obviously supports outsourcing of American jobs to cheap labor markets.”
