New Utah Slogan
Lou Dobbs is trying to replace the Utah slogan "Life Elevated" with "Amnesty Agenda"

On CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" Wednesday the anti-illegal immigration crusader spent quite a bit of time on the primary race between Rep. Chris Cannon and John Jacob.

During the segment, the program had a graphic in the corner of the screen with a map of Utah and the designation "Amnesty Agenda."

Dobbs has been relentless in his criticism of the Bush administration and Cannon on immigration reform. He didn't let up after Cannon's convincing win Tuesday, describing Cannon as being for "amnesty for illegal aliens" -- a description which Cannon denies.

Dobbs then plastered the same label on Christian Burridge, Cannon's Democrat opponent in the general election.

"Burridge is an attorney who practices immigration law and who strongly favors a so-called comprehensive immigration reform package, including, of course, amnesty for illegal aliens."

With the "Utah/ Amnesty Agenda" logo still on the screen, Dobbs ended sarcastically: "It should be quite a contest."

Burridge says Dobbs has never talked to him, so he isn't quite sure how the broadcaster divined his position.

Lou Dobbs is right and he has the Mormon church pegged. Just more illegals to fatten up the coffers

Lou Dobbs has never been right about anything, especially the immmigration debate.
