==Designation as a Hate Group==

 +
In 2007, the SPLC branded FAIR a hate group, stating that:
 +
 
 +
"The founder, chief ideologue and long-time funder of FAIR [ [[John Tanton]] ] is a racist. Key staff members have ties to white supremacist groups, some are members, and some have spoken at hate group functions. FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from a racist foundation devoted to studies of race and IQ, and to eugenics -- the pseudo-science of breeding a better human race that was utterly discredited by the Nazi euthanasia program. It spreads racist conspiracy theories."<ref name="SPLC">Southern Poverty Law Center, "[http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2007/12/11/fair-crossing-the-rubicon-of-hate/ FAIR Crossing the Rubicon of Hate]," organizational "Hatewatch" profile, December 11, 2007, accessed September 2, 2010.</ref>

Latest revision as of 19:35, 11 October 2017

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is an anti-immigration group that has been branded a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).[1] FAIR calls itself an "organization of concerned citizens who share a common belief that our nation's immigration policies must be reformed to serve the national interest."[2] It was formed in 1979 by population control advocate and nativist John Tanton, who believes that immigration is a significant part of the US population "problem," and is part of the anti-immigrant John Tanton Network.[3][4]

In 2011, FAIR reported $6,202,879 in total revenue, $6,130,583 in total expenses, and $10,142,838 in net assets.[5]

Role in Arizona's Anti-Immigrant Law

FAIR played a significant role in drafting Arizona's controversial SB1070 anti-immigrant law, which has been successfully challenged by the US Department of Justice.[6][7] According to the FAIR website, "FAIR's legal affiliate, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI)[,] assisted [Arizona] Senator Pearce in drafting the language of SB1070."[8]

Designation as a Hate Group

In 2007, the SPLC branded FAIR a hate group, stating that:

"The founder, chief ideologue and long-time funder of FAIR [ John Tanton ] is a racist. Key staff members have ties to white supremacist groups, some are members, and some have spoken at hate group functions. FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from a racist foundation devoted to studies of race and IQ, and to eugenics -- the pseudo-science of breeding a better human race that was utterly discredited by the Nazi euthanasia program. It spreads racist conspiracy theories."[1]

Lobbying Against the 2013 Immigration Reform Bill

In 2013, FAIR has played a major role in fighting the immigration reform bill, part of a proposal introduced by a bipartisan group of senators in January.[9] FAIR has received nearly $15 million in donations from the Colcom Foundation, started by Cordelia Scaife May, a close friend of John Tanton and sister to Richard Scaife of the right-wing Scaife Foundations.[9] FAIR has provided "studies" linking immigration reform to income inequality and crime, and its president, Dan Stein, published an op-ed in Politico in opposition to the immigration bill.[9] However, the evidence Stein cited to support the idea that immigration reform is harmful to the United States was called "wildly misleading, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong" by Media Matters for America.[10]

Funding

In 2011, FAIR reported $6,202,879 in total revenue, $6,130,583 in total expenses, and $10,142,838 in net assets.[11]
