He describes himself as an advocate of economic populism, warning that outsourcing and the U.S. trade and budget deficits threaten the American middle class. Dobbs tends to agree with economists who oppose long-run trade deficits and outsourcing for the sake of labor arbitrage to obtain cheap labor as an example of absolute advantage which does not produce mutual gain,^{[citation needed]} and not an example of comparative advantage which does.^[9][10] Fiscal conservatism (also known as economic liberalism) is a term used in the United States to refer to economic and political policy that advocates restraint of government taxation, government expenditures and deficits, and government debt. ...

In the 2000s, Dobbs has used CNN programs and columns to express his strong personal views on several subjects. He has become particularly noted for two positions: Concerning international trade, Dobbs favors returning to balanced trade which was a U.S. policy during the 1980s. This would eliminate or reduce greatly the trade deficits which have been growing continuously since the late 1970s, and particularly since 2001. He is particularly wary of outsourcing and offshoring in light of the increasing U.S. trade deficit, particularly with China.

Dobbs is opposed to illegal immigration, amnesty for illegal aliens, the H-1B visa program and guest worker programs.^[12][13] Along with this, he has been a critic of the Mexican government's apparent lack of willingness to change its laws to help the poor and of church leaders in Mexico for not criticizing the Mexican government's policies.

Dobbs wants more Border Patrol officers and smarter strategies to more effectively seal the border from violations by illegal aliens and drug smugglers, and from criminals in general. He is in favor of groups like the Minuteman Project, who occasionally patrol remote border areas and report violations by cell phone to the government. Dobbs has said that the United States is becoming balkanized and that many immigrants are not assimilating as prior generations of immigrants did. He opposes mainstreaming illegal aliens into US society as if they were legal immigrants. He has been critical of demonstrations which fly the flags of other nations in the United States, stating, "I don't think that we should have any flag flying in this country except the flag of the United States", and "I don't think there should be a St. Patrick's Day. I don't care who you are. I think we ought to be celebrating what is common about this country, what we enjoy as similarities as people."

Illegal immigrants apprehended crossing from Canada to the U.S. during that same time period are a tiny fraction of that amount – 4,066.^[14] Dobbs also has lauded the Canadian government for cooperation in securing the border with their American counterparts.

Dobbs once described himself as a "lifelong Republican,"^[18] but has stated that he has switched to being an unaffiliated independent populist, as he no longer openly supports any party.^[19] Though he made a donation of $1,000 to the Bush-Cheney campaign in January 2001,^[20] he often has described the administration of George W. Bush and the then Republican-controlled Congress as "disgraceful." At the same time he has argued that voters have very little choice under the U.S. two-party system, as both parties are controlled by big business and corporate interests, making them almost one and the same and thus do not offer real debate or policy alternatives to ordinary Americans.

Dobbs' critics have at times accused him of presenting unclear or inaccurate information on his program to buttress his reporting on illegal immigrants. One particular criticism involved a CNN report, filed by CNN correspondent Christine Romans for Dobbs's April 14, 2005 program, on the carrying of diseases across the border by illegal immigrants. Romans' report cited an article in the Spring 2005 issue of the non-indexed Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, written by the late Madeleine Cosman, which made the statement that 7,000 cases of leprosy had emerged in the United States within the previous three years (2002-2005), an increase attributed mostly due to an influx of immigrants into the country.^[28][29][30] Critics of the program argued that, in fact, the actual number of leprosy cases had reached 7,000 in the registry over thirty years, not the previous three years, with 137 cases reported in 2006.^[31][32] In addressing the leprosy issue, Dobbs compared his critics from the left and right political spectrums to "commies" and "fascists."^[33] On December 4, 2007, Dobbs rejected Cosman's claims as unsubstantiated, calling her "a wackjob".^[34] Christine Romans is a correspondent for CNNs Lou Dobbs Tonight. ... is the 104th day of the year (105th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
