Following Beck like I have between 2003 and mostly till 2014, I think he is for open boarders and maybe amnesty now. One justification is that he has some twisted love for illegals and sympathy for their plight. He changed after he started The Blaze TV.
‘... he is for open boarders ...’
Clever play on words. ‘Boarders’ who receive food stamps, healthcare, and other benefits.

Having followed him perhaps you know the answer to what I have been wondering.
I remember him on CNN's offshoot HLN. Then he magically appeared on Fox's FNC. I think it was Shemp, then Hume, then Beck, then O'BlowHard, then Hannity. He did some good work there between 2009 and 2010 with episodes about the Constitution, TEA Party, Communists, etc ( I liked the ones about the unsung black heroes of the early republic ). IIRC his ratings almost beat O'Reilly and was poised to become their big thing.
Anyway, I didn't get to watch everyday but suddenly he was appearing with O'Reilly, something I suspected as fishy, a way for the blowhard to undermine him. In parallel to this I noticed that Rush, Hannity and Levin were extremely indifferent or hostile to the guy. Very strange dynamic ( and now somehow they are all friends?! ).
The rest is history, he leaves Fox and no-one explains why, he starts a doomed to fail Internet TV thing which I never saw, and the Blaze which has some moderate success. Aside from his drinking, no-one has clearly described that thing with Fox. My GUESS is that Ailes and Murdoch pushed him out, but just like everything else there it stays under wraps.
Please fill in any blanks you might know and correct my memory as well! I'm just curious. Clearly he went cuckoo around 2011 for some reason, but I sure didn't see it coming in the two years prior.
