You're right and I was wrong, there was one link, to the SPLC evidence that John Tanton is a bad man. Tanton is not part of CIS, PFIR, and so an argument for his relevance here is needed, don't you think? There's no link to any evidence or argument against the argument presented in the diary, that restricting immigration in a time of severe unemployment is a good idea.

Why don't you post a diary that puts forward that point of view without reference to a crowd of badly cloaked racists? You're making yourself look racist by association.

I'd suggest that you keep in mind that  a good number of people here have no respect for national borders or nation states at all, so you'll need to take that into account. You should also keep in mind that you'll be needing evidence and a chain of logic to avoid getting skewered here.

Meanwhile, I don't see any prospect of this diary generating anything other than heat, so I'm closing comments in the most appallingly high-handed fashion you've ever seen.

Tanton was a founder and first chairman of FAIR, as well as a founder of CIS.  But you sure sounded oddly sure of yourself there.

A bit rehearsed, actually.

Here's a good rundown of Tanton's work on PFIR.

But that name.  The staffing guy.  Roy Beck.

Roy Beck.  Roy Beck.  Roy Beck.

Now where have I heard that name before?

Oooooohhh, I remember:

That Roy Beck!  The one who's a higher-up in the Council of Conservative Citizens!

Wait, wait, you guys are gonna love this.

What is the Council of Conservative Citizens, you ask?

The Council of Conservative Citizens is the descendent of the -- wait for it...White Citizens' Councils.  Those of Klan-Era fame.

Drew linked to to the SPLC in his first sentence.
