About
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit advocacy organization founded in 1979 that opposes high levels of immigration to the United States, advocating for stricter immigration policies, reduced legal immigration, and enforcement of existing laws. It publishes position papers, organizes conferences and events, runs public awareness campaigns, and engages in litigation to influence U.S. immigration policy. FAIR has been criticized for ties to white nationalist/supremacist figures and anti-immigrant rhetoric, with groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center classifying it as a hate group. The organization has been involved in controversies over associations with eugenics advocates and restrictionist ideologies, and receives funding from sources including Donors Trust.
