Bitter Division for Sierra Club on Immigration
nytimes.com

In response, those who support immigration controls of some sort argue that the club's leadership must confront the roots of future environmental crises. Mr. Lamm defended his position, saying charges of indirect connections to racist groups are "right out of Joe McCarthy."

In a telephone interview, Mr. Lamm said: "I have been monomaniacal in some ways about how America is ducking this issue. I have a grandchild in utero. If that child is long-lived, she might see a billion Americans."

Mr. Lamm freely acknowledges that he has not been a member of the Sierra Club for years, but said he wanted to become an active participant to push the immigration issue. Over the past several decades, he has shown a penchant for divisive issues, saying at one point that the terminally ill had a "duty to die."
