The Eternal Hope blog has a nice piece setting out the racist hate groups that underlay many anti-immigrant organizations. For anyone who follows these groups closely, it is very clear that their agenda is not merely tighter immigration restrictions but wholesale xenophobia and racist nativism. The mainstream media has been slow to recognize these connections and will still quote hate-groups such as FAIR - the Federation for American Immigration Reform as if they were respectable advocacy groups. In addition to prior posts on the links between hate groups and anti-immigrant groups, I highly recommend reading Eternal Hope's incisive piece, "The link between Anti-Immigrant groups and White Supremacists," at (http://americaabroad.tpmcafe.com/node/).
