Federation For American Immigration Reform - Other Groups Created By FAIR

Other Groups Created By FAIR

FAIR established the FAIR Congressional Task Force (FCTF) as a 501(c)(4) organization that describes itself as a "non-profit, public interest organization whose purpose is to serve the public welfare by developing and promoting immigration policies that are consistent with the economic, social and demographic interest of the United States; to restrict illegal immigration to the United States; and to limit legal admissions to reasonable levels."

FAIR established the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) as an organization that describes itself as "America's only public interest law organization working exclusively to protect the legal rights, privileges, and property of U.S. citizens and their communities from injuries and damages caused by unlawful immigration."

Choose Black America is an African American group created by FAIR. According to The Oroville Mercury Register, the group's founders could not name any of its members. One founder of Choose Black America, James Clingman, said "Choose Black America was just the banner under which we had a press conference". He also said that he had not spoken to or contacted the other members before FAIR organized the press conference, with the exception of his friend and fellow economics writer Claud Anderson, and would not have attended if he had known who else was involved.

Another group established by FAIR is You Don't Speak for Me, which describes itself as "a group of concerned Americans of Hispanic/Latino heritage, some first or second generation, others recent legal immigrants, who believe illegal immigration harms America and a guest worker amnesty will do the same." One of the media contacts for this group is Ira Mehlman, who is also FAIR's media director.

Famous quotes containing the words groups, created and/or fair:

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    You have created a monster and it will destroy you.
    Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    May we not assure ourselves that whatever woman’s thought and study shall embrace will thereby receive a new inspiration, that she will save science from materialism, and art from a gross realism; that the “eternal womanly shall lead upward and onward”?
    Louisa Parsons Hopkins, U.S. scientist and author. As quoted in The Fair Women, ch. 16, by Jeanne Madeline Weimann (1981)
