Up to about 2003, Lou Dobb's show on CNN was one of my favorites; however, his isolationist and bigoted attitudes became highly offensive to the point where I could no longer watch the show but followed it only in the printed media. His views contradict my religious beliefs.

I'm a devout Roman Catholic, and our bishops have repeatedly stated that each person has a basic human right to migrate, especially in the case where they are seeking to support themselves or their families.

I've been very ashamed that prominent so-called Catholics like Pat Buchanon and Bill O'Reilly have completely disregarded and/or contradicted our Church's teaching in these matters. Those on the political right wing are the worst "cafeteria Catholics" of all!
