An article posted yesterday by Imagine 2050 really just reinforces what I've said all along: behing the anti-immigrant movement there are corrupted and ignorant minds who are not willing to engage in a real intellectual debate about the morality or immorality of keeping or sending immigrants away. It takes one man and one man only to create such a powerful anti-immigration movement, for example. This man is John Tanton. He is at the heart of the most influential anti-immigrant network in the country - he has created an empire of organizations consisting of lobbyists, lawyers, legislators, and “experts” that have permeated the very depths of social and political debate.The strategies used by people like Tanton and his folowers are just sickening. Using innocuous names that sound like they might be pro-immigrant is very deceiving and confusing to people. Research and self-education is very key in combatting the dirty work of people like Tanton. We must keep ourselves on top of things and always engage in what is going on. While there are groups out there that are definitely working for Immigration reform, we must do our part by facing the reality and realizing that anti-immigrants are out there and they are not going anywhere. They have the support of millionaires and racist supremacists.
Respected civil rights groups - including the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League - have uncovered troubling associations with racists, white supremacists, and political extremists. One is the Pioneer Fund, a foundation committed to eugenics and “scientific racism”. (Scientific Racism?!?!?!? Racism is Racism!!! Plain and simple!) These groups have found that The Pioneer Fund has provided John Tanton with the substantial funding he has needed for multi-millionaire operations!
A map has been put together by the Center for New Community detailing the nature of these relationships.
This map shows that behind the long-winded names and complicated connections, the truth is much simpler, it is one network and one message.
IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.
