FAIR was created following a factional split in Zero Population Growth led by John Tanton. Along with Sidney Swensrud and Sharon Barnes, Tanton founded FAIR in 1979. FAIR’s links to other local and national organizations that are stridently anti-immigrant, anti-Latino, and supremacist have undermined FAIR’s own credibility and led to questions about the underlying agenda of its restrictionist approach to immigration.

.......

John Tanton set up several other anti-immigrant organizations after FAIR was created. He founded U.S. Inc. (1982), U.S. English (1983), Center for Immigration Studies (1985), Social Contract Press (1990), Pro English (1994), and Numbers USA (1996). (14) Tanton, who is the editor and publisher of The Social Contract, was the national president of Zero Population Growth from 1975 to 1977, serving as chairman of its Immigration Study Committee from 1973 to 1975. Tanton has also served as president of the Northern Michigan Planned Parenthood and chairman of Sierra Club National Population Committee.

Basically these people are Zero Population Growth leftists. There's a reason Linda Chavez and other responsible conservatives have cut all ties to these guys.

Thanks for that information, Johnny. If Chavez feels that way, it's good enough for me.

Yes, there was a guy who was liberal on abortion involved in the founding of FAIR! OooOOOooh. Why don't you talk about the present head of FAIR, Dan Stein. The guy who matters. What? Your're left-wing attack dogs don't have anything on him?

Your style of discrediting FAIR is straight out of the James Carville play book. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You mean the Linda Chavez who was busted for employing illegals to clean her mansion?
