A recent report released by the Southern Poverty Law Center reexamines the role of xenophobia in recent organized anti-immigrant activity. The report reveals that the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and NumbersUSA share racist roots and are motivated by hate. The report, "The Three Faces of Intolerance" can be found at http://www.splcenter.org/pdf/static/splc_nativistlobby_022009.pdf
