@FAIRImmigration, founded by Dr. John Tanton, is a mouthpiece of white nationalist rhetoric. But it's more than that: it injects its foul ideology into actual policy.

One (latest) example: Temporary Protected Status, or TPS. Read what a federal judge found:

#SaveTPS

On p29 of the decision, the Court gives yet another example of Acting Secy Elaine Duke, who is supposed to make a dispassionate assessment of conditions on the ground in determining TPS eligibility, said "this conclusion [to end TPS] is the result of an America first view..."

Curious, because America was founded on ideals of welcoming the forcibly displaced. I'm not sure what "American first" has to do with terminating TPS.

If the White House is influencing the decision, we have a problem, because the White House has made A LOT of racist statements.

Here's one:

*cough* and another...remember? This is what kept sinking the #MuslimBan, until Gorsuch...

Oh hey, another one. Haitians have AIDS, and Nigerians all live in huts. But he's not racist, no...he said he's the "least racist person" in the world! Feel better?

Oh, remember the #ShitholeCountry quip?

But wait, there's more.

Dehumanizing language - akin to "animals." Conflating gangs with Latinos. (Old trick - like terrorists and Muslims. There's a lot of cross-pollination between the anti-immigrant and Islamophobia industries...I love being an immigration lawyer who happens to be Muslim!)

And here's some white nationalist rhetoric that would make guys like @SteveKingIA and Miller and Bannon proud:

Let's not forget: FAIR has been screaming about killing #TPS for a long time.

Media director Ira Mehlman wrote this in 2017:

(He also thinks I'm a paid operative of the Qatari government because I did a video on @ajplus calling out FAIR as a WN outfit)

All of a sudden, the same talking point ("T" for "temporary"!) starts appearing in the White House:

Wonder where they got it from.

FAIR's sister (yet competitor) organization @CIS_org has also been clamoring for an end to TPS...

From an April 2016 "wishlist" of things the "next President" could do on immigration:

This is why I'm suing to unseal the papers of John Tanton. @FAIRImmigration needs to be exposed for the white nationalist mouthpiece that it is. FAIR has gone to some lengths to distance themselves from their shadowy, eugenicist founder. But we see you.
