Federation for American Immigration Reform

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a non-profit tax exempt organization in the United States that advocates changes in U.S. immigration policy that they believe would result in significant reductions in immigration, both legal and illegal. It reports a membership of more than 250,000 members and supporters,〔(Federation for American Immigration Reform: About FAIR ), fairus.org; accessed August 28, 2015.〕 and has been called to testify in front of the United States Congress on immigration bills.
FAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded on January 2, 1979, with seed money from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Its founding chairman was John Tanton, a founder of many anti-immigration and environmentalist groups, and its first executive director was environmental lawyer Roger Conner. Other initial founders included Otis Graham, Sharon Barnes, and Sidney Swensrud. Dan Stein has been president of FAIR since 1988.
==Activities==
FAIR seeks a moratorium on net immigration by anyone other than refugees and the spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens, until it can be shown that higher immigration levels are needed.〔(Federation for American Immigration Reform: Why America Needs an Immigration Time-Out ), fairus.org; accessed July 2, 2015.〕
FAIR describes itself as nonpartisan. but is sometimes described by interested parties as politically conservative.
FAIR identifies itself as a "group whose membership runs the gamut from liberal to conservative. () grassroots networks help concerned citizens use their voices to speak up for effective, sensible immigration policies that work for America’s best interests".〔(FAIR: : About FAIR ), fairus.org; accessed July 2, 2015.〕 Its Board of Advisors has included individuals such as former Congressman Brian Bilbray (R-CA) and former Governor Richard Lamm (D-CO). The group promotes policies to improve border security and stop illegal immigration, and to reduce legal immigration into the United States to around 300,000 people a year. FAIR's policy studies emphasize the environmental, economic, and social effects of mass immigration.
FAIR's President Dan Stein serves on the 61-member board of the Citizens' Debate Commission, a nonpartisan American organization formed in 2004, which was established to sponsor future general election presidential debates.
FAIR is a member of the Coalition for the Future American Worker, which describes itself as "an umbrella organization of professional trade groups, population/environment organizations, and immigration reform groups. CFAW was formed to represent the interests of American workers and students in the formulation of immigration policy."〔(What is the Coalition for the Future American Worker ), americanworker.org; accessed July 2, 2015.〕
Under John Tanton's leadership FAIR was criticized for taking funding for many years from the Pioneer Fund, an organization dedicated to "improving the character of the American people" by promoting the practice of eugenics, or selective breeding. Tanton's activities are documented in 17 file boxes of archives he donated to the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan. Other FAIR organization records are stored at the Special Collections Research Center at the George Washington University.〔(Preliminary Guide to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Records, 1867-2006 ), Special Collections Research Center, Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library, George Washington University.〕
