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:

    In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
    Good pennyworths,—but money cannot move:
    I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,—
    A beggar may be liberal of love.
    Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,
    —Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 7–8)
