Much of his reasoning seems to go back to Garrett Hardin’s “Exploring new ethics for survival (1972),” a profoundly immoral book which gained status among the Zero Pop. Growth crowd in the 70s. Bad basis.

i also think that more people need to know about tanton, because they need to know how orchestrated this whole thing is. people think that the anti-immigrant movement is more grassroots than it is (in fact they try to make it seem more grassroots, but the money comes in from these national orgs to fund local intitiatives such as protect arizona now or prop 200. plus those initiatives are locally funded by business owners like rusty childress). i think a lot of white people are racist, but it’s really important that we see that they may not be as actively racist as it seems. without all that funding and lobbying, all this stuff would not be happening.

since this is the case, there’s more hope for change. i would not say however, that it’s not important to try to challenge the white working class especially to build solidarity with working class people of all races/ethnicities.

Tanton has a long history in the “anti-immigration” movement and has been nothing short of prolific in his attempt to keep America as a White Nation. For proof one needs to look no further than the organizations that he founded or co-founded which include; FAIR, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), NumbersUSA, and Pro-English. Tanton has effectively positioned these groups as legitimate groups which study and conduct research on immigration, but in reality those groups nothing more than tools for Tanton and his followers to spread racism, hate and anti-immigration sentiment.

Since the 1970′s Tanton has been pulling the strings of the anti-immigration movement. That’s a very long time and he has been quite effective at lobbying Congress. Throughout all that time Tanton has always kept a cozy relationship with White Supremacist groups, whom he relies on to perform his dirty work.

Once again, Tanton, for me is one seriously scary White dude!
