Anti-Immigration/Anti-Immigrant Sites
- Center for Immigration Studies. The CRC, run by Mark
Krikorian, is a distributor of immigration news and reports that reflect an anti-immigration viewpoint. By selectively
reporting crimes by immigrants, they are as biased against immigration as Fox "News" is to promoting right wing agenda. The
CRC is a tax-exempt organization depending on donations and grants from the German Marshall Fund.
- Michelle Malkin.com. Michelle Malkin is a
female version of Lou Dobbs. In our opinion, her hate-filled anti-immigrant rhetoric is meant to stir up controversy and help sell
her books. As a Fillipino-American, Michelle's ignorance is only matched by her hippocracy. She still defends America's decision to
intern Japanese-Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Need we say more? Oh, and by the way, she is now blaming the mortgage meltdown on illegal immigrants... Jeesh!
- VDare.com. This genuine immigrant hate site
uses a deer as their logo, perhaps because their readers reflect a "deer in the headlights" mentality. They
actively encourage reporting illegal aliens, support citizen border patrols and other methods aimed at a purely law
enforcement approach to solving the immigration problem. If you support Patrick Buchanan, you'll love this site.
- NumbersUSA. Another anti-immigration site, but one of the most influential.
