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.

    Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.
    David Mamet (b. 1947)

    He gave man speech, and speech created thought,
    Which is the measure of the universe;
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    There now are no Squire Westerns as of old;
    And our Sophias are not so emphatic,
    But fair as then, or fairer to behold.
    We have no accomplish’d blackguards, like Tom Jones,
    But gentlemen in stays, as stiff as stones.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
