Jean Raspail was the author of #CampOfTheSaints, a virulently racist hate novel that's achieved cult classic status among white nationalists. A favorite of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, the novel portrays the death of Western civilization by refugees.

John Tanton, founder of today's anti-immigrant movement, whose organizations have infiltrated deep into the Trump administration, loved the novel so much he acquired the rights to republish it in 1994.

My review:

The influence of the novel cannot be overstated. If you're wondering where the WN movement gets its inspiration to formulate the horrific policies we've seen rolled out, look inside the minds of racists like Jean Raspail. Stephen Miller did:

Last year former Breitbart reporter Katie McHugh bravely renounced her white nationalist views and leaked 100s of emails from Miller.

Camp of the Saints made more than a casual reference.

My conversation with Katie on @Alyssa_Milano's podcast:

We are going through a national introspection on white supremacy. And that means being aware of this noxious ideology wherever it may be hidden.

It's not about the economy, national security, or public health as this administration would have you believe.
It's about one thing, and one thing only: to make America white again.

Exposing the shameful roots of our immigration policy is what drives my quest to unseal the #TantonPapers (now before the Michigan Supreme Court in its 3rd year of legal battle.)

But as @ChrisCuomo said last night, let's not add by subtraction. We need a new holistic way to talk about immigration. It is an issue of racial justice but it's also an issue ofw the environment, criminal justice reform, labor, and the economy.
The white nationalist #TantonNetwork has had the floor long enough.

Move over, racists. Your ideas are why we're in this mess. We know you love the chaos and pain in aspiring American communities.

But America has already changed, and you've already lost.
