Comments on: White Nationalists Defend “Immigrant Reform” Organization http://imagine2050.newcomm.org/2008/09/10/white-nationalists-defend-%e2%80%9cimmigrant-reform%e2%80%9d-organization/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:51:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: Eric Ward /2008/09/10/white-nationalists-defend-%e2%80%9cimmigrant-reform%e2%80%9d-organization/#comment-239 Eric Ward Thu, 11 Sep 2008 21:18:20 +0000 http://imagine2050.newcomm.org/?p=566#comment-239 OneJaneDoe thanks for writing and sharing your views with me and other readers of Imagine2050. I’m delighted to read in your comment that we both agree that everyone who is against illegal migration in the United States is not a bigot, white racist or hate-grouper. The majority of Americans including those of us who write for Imagine2050 want our country to be safe, equitable laws and embrace civil society. I’m glad to know that you support the values that are important to many us here. I think where we differ is on the Federation for American Immigration Reform. FAIR staffers and board members have maintained relationships with white supremacists. We are not talking about everyday folks like you and me who have prejudices that we try to work on but individuals who belong to hardcore hate groups. Is this the type of organization that you want representing you? Would allow someone who maintains a close relationship with a child molester babysit your children? Why would you allow an organization that is intent on maintaining relationships with white supremacists represent your views? To me this shows me that FAIR is not trying to be a responsible partner but simply an organization that wants to keep the problem going. FAIR has no realistic solutions to the issue of immigration. I’m really glad that you wrote me. You have inspired a blog that I will post on Saturday. I hope that we can continue our conversation.

When FAIR is making noise in Washington, as this week, it's especially important to hold up for inspection FAIR's real nature and associations. (Circumstantial, if you will. However, lie down with dogs, get up with fleas, as the saying is.) I'm grateful for the information. Thanks for the details.

Why not call us what we are: sick and tired of every American-hating group attacking those of us whom wants our country to be safe, and our laws abided, as is expected in any "civil" society. We are accused of being unsociable, while the illegals marches our streets, waving their country's flags, takes our jobs, and wipes it in our face via the media. You tell me who the bad guys are here!!! Isn’t it so convenient, to label those, whom are against illegal migration into our country, as bigots, white racists, and hate-groupers.
