Founded in 1985 by John Tanton, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has gone on to become the go-to think tank for the anti-immigrant movement with its reports and staffers often cited by media and anti-immigrant politicians. CIS’s much-touted tagline is “low immigration, pro-immigrant,” but the organization has a decades-long history of circulating racist writers, while also associating with white nationalists.
You start with the answer you want, and find sources that will give it to you.
That's why you'll always be average.
I looked up your quote. You act like the Southern Poverty Law Center is anything other than a communist satellite.
"You start with the answer you want, and find sources that will give it to you." Much?
2. USA Today is a rag for people who can barely read. Not surprised to find you there. The article is basically a quote piece for the CIS, an off-shoot of FAIR. If I'm ever basing my argument on "research" done by an organization with an axe to grind, I'll tell you; I don't need to hide my sources.
3. I'll quote however I wish, and won't take drafting advice from someone who barely has command over his native language. HtH
From the linked article: "Steven Camarota, director of research at the center and author of the report". The article had an opposing viewpoint as well. You probably missed that.
Regardless of whether you agree with that shit or not, that is the founder and thought leader of those organizations, which cleverly try to pass themselves off as academically neutral. Which forces the question: why don't they just grab their balls and spell out their real agenda, instead of trying to appear as something else?
They are, at best, anti-immigration. Which is fine, but don't ask me to read their research as scholarly and without agenda. Their founder and thought leader was an amateur anthropologist who had some really stupid hillbilly views.
That is all. SPLC has nothing to do with it, but nice attempt to deflect from the point that you rely on the CIC for your point.
Never heard of the guy you're talking about just posted a link to the USA Today article. Pretty simple really.
Eugenics? Planned Parenthood founder Margret Sanger who liked Hitler and said she was doing it to keep the black population in check. Idolized by the left.
Like I said, he's flown under the radar, but he's also been covered, and the Detroit News piece on him is probably the most fair take I've seen. The NYTs piece isn't too bad, given that they call him for what he is/was mostly. But he's a Michigan guy and the DN tried to cover all the angles, and depending on your beliefs some of them were ugly. It ran last year; you'll have no trouble finding it. I would not cite or rely on CIS and affiliated data without knowing more about Tanton. Up to you of course, but his fingerprints are all over all of those groups.
Finally, you're not going to get under my skin picking on the left. There's a lot not to like. But being a cherry picker is no way to go through life, and we are not talking about abortion at the moment. Focus.
I just like to point out the total hypocrisy on the left. Happens on the right as well but usually connected to millions of deaths.
Didn't know that was common
I'll concede it is a somewhat chintresting piece, albeit one you cherry picked for a good headline. The conservative Latina made some good poonts.
