John Tanton founded the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) in 1979 and shortly thereafter began receiving financial support from the Pioneer Fund. FAIR has also received funds from other well documented racist people and groups as well as doled out money for scholarships which prioritize white and English speaking individuals. As shown in a video by Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, both the Pioneer Fund and FAIR have strong ties to Neo-Nazi movements and modern eugenics/ population control in the United States.
Since its inception FAIR has fought for border control at the federal level. It's policies however were too racist and fear mongering to gain the required support. Along come the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the state of exception which followed by the lead of President Bush. It soon became a common occurrence to forgo rights for safety. So under the guise of national security (because we all know that only illegal immigrants are criminals) FAIR was able to help write, introduce, and pass a certain Senate Bill in Arizona.
As shown in the post before this, the bill incentivizes racial profiling, puting non-whites under even more structural pressures. It also goes against the constitution not only in giving Arizona the right to control the country's borders but also in violating the 4th amendment by forcing police officers to ask for the "papers" of any individual they deem to be illegal.
This request for papers sounds like a bad Nazi joke. The joke is on Arizona and the United States though since SB 1070 was supported and partially written by Neo-Nazis.
Someone call Mel Gibson because it looks like we have a conspiracy.
