Like Pickens you've been exposed as a fake.... "CIS is one of several anti-immigration groups exposed in a Wall Street Journal article (“Borderline Republicans” June 14, 2004), “In fact, CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with, were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China’s one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486.” The mastermind of the groups, John Tanton, was exposed by the Intelligence Report published by the SPCL, “The Puppeteer,” (June 12, 2002) written by Rick Swartz. In an interview with SPLC, Swartz said: “The (Tanton) blueprint envisaged creating a whole array of organizations that serve the overall ideological and political battle plan to halt immigration. …They camouflage the links between these organizations, their true origins, so that they appear to have arisen spontaneously. But in fact they have the same creator, Tanton.” Swartz also observed, “Another tactic of Tanton’s is to turn ethnic groups on each other, to create conflict between different ethnic and racial groups. One of his big arguments has always been that immigration hurts blacks. FAIR has bought radio advertising on black radio stations to push that vision… basically saying, “You know why you don’t have a job? Because some undocumented Mexican came in and stole yours from you.”” Swartz added, “…it’s the oldest trick in the book. It’s called making those who don’t have a lot but are making progress feel threatened by those coming after them.” And, “The Tanton vision… is of an apartheid United States beset by racial violence, and whites not going quietly into the night as their numbers are overwhelmed by the demographics of immigration.” hispanicmpr.com
