Anti-immigrant group Progressives for Immigration Reform (PFIR) issued a new policy brief, again blaming immigrants for economic hardships in the United States. The paper was written by Vernon Briggs, Jr. who, aside from sitting on the board of directors at PFIR, is also a board member at the Center for Immigration Studies and has contributed to the white nationalist journal, The Social Contract. All of the aforementioned organizations are tied to the notorious John Tanton Network.
