“Apply the Brakes:” Nativists and Naturalists Corrupt the Environment-Population Dialogue

A disturbing, but not surprising new report out today by the Center for New Community telling us how the anti immigrantion forces are having success in co-opting the Environmentalists aka “Tree Huggers” into adopting the policies and agenda of groups such as VDARE, ALIPAC, and loony toons such as Frosty Wooldridge who propose to solve America’s problems though zero population growth, otherwise known as eugenics, the brainchild of John Tanton.

Our friends at Imagine2050 have the facts and the report for download to the public beginning today.

This further confirms how the tentacles of hate and racism have corrupted the national debate on immigration reform and enabled groups such as ALIPAC, VDARE,FAIR,NUMBERSUSA and others to gain a foothold in the debate.

For those of you unfamiliar with John Tanton and his network of hate, a good primer course would be the report titled “THE PUPPETEER”. The Puppeteer lays out in detail, Tantons agenda for taking the debate over immigration, both legal and illegal to the stage we are at today. It is interesting to note that the events described in the report on the Tanton Network happened more than 25 years ago. Where we find ourselves today has been carefully planned over almost 3 decades.

UCLA study says legalizing undocumented immigrants would help the economy

By Uncategorized View Comments

Something we’ve all known has been verified based on surveys done after the 1986 amnesty program, that concludes that even during the recession, legalizing undocumented workers would benefit the economy.

The report said that legalization, along with a program that allows for future immigration based on the labor market, would create jobs, increase wages and generate more tax revenue. Comprehensive immigration reform would add an estimated $1.5 trillion to the U.S. gross domestic product over 10 years, according to the report.

“If we are going to create a solid recovery with good wages, we have to fix this hole that we have at the bottom of the labor market,” said the author, Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda, an associate professor with the UCLA Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies. “This is not about bringing in a lot of workers. This is about your neighbors and if we are better off where everybody in the economy has the ability to fight for their families and to contribute more to the economy rather than staying in the shadows.”

Nativist Bigot starts new website to expose “subversive” groups

By Uncategorized Comments Off

by Sonia Scherr
A new website purports to expose the machinations of “extremist” organizations that supposedly are trying to stifle debate about immigration. These groups represent “the well-funded far-left anti-enforcement mob that is ‘the other side’ of the majority of Americans,” states the website, Center for Immigration Truth.

What Center for Immigration Truth doesn’t say is that the website is another project of John Tanton, a retired Michigan ophthalmologist who in many ways has been primary architect of the contemporary nativist movement. Tanton, who has a long history of bigotry and racist associations that has been documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center, is the registrant and administrator of the website, according to the Public Interest Registry database. The address in the registry is that of Tanton’s Social Contract Press, which publishes a quarterly journal featuring articles by prominent white supremacists. (The Social Contract Press is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC.)
