#NumbersUSA
Today I received this fundraising email from Ted Cruz on behalf of an immigration restrictionist organization that was founded in 1996 and has been led and funded by white nationalists, eugenicists, and antisemites of various stripes. You'll never guess what their pet cause was in the 1990s....

🚨 The SPLC-designated anti-immigrant hate group Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) has been absorbed by NumbersUSA, representing a merger between two groups dedicated to promoting anti-immigration policies. Read the latest from #Hatewatch for more: bit.ly/4kMNIIK

Numbers USA is part of a network of anti-immigration orgs funded by millionaire eugenicist freak John Tanton. Much of their literature uses rhetoric with barely coded antisemitic messaging, like that George Soros shout out in Ted Cruz's email. www.splcenter.org/resources/re...

Tanton network in MSM

NumbersUSA was part of a network of groups “founded and funded” by John Tanton, whom the Southern Poverty Law Center called the “puppeteer of the nativism movement and a man with deep racist roots”.

NumbersUSA, the intellectual heft behind the nativist right, was founded by leftist environmentalists. The environmentalism to eliminationism pipeline is real.

I am exceedingly comfortable with calling Ilan Wurman a fraud and a hack. I've seen his kind of "academic" research before, coming from groups like CIS or NumbersUSA, which I categorize as "white supremacist bullshit generators."
Professor Wurman seems to relish in calling me a bad academic who doesn’t sufficiently extend good faith presumptions and scholarly charity. He also demands I produce evidence in real time. Fairs.

So, Ilan Wurman, I’d like you to meet Ilan Wurman.

They're awful. Mostly the people as FAIR, ZPG, NumbersUSA, English Only, CAP, and any number of other "population control" and "immigration hawks" groups, with a few other individuals in the mix for plausible deniability

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-#WI06) descends to a new low as he posts about receiving an award from NumbersUSA, an anti-immigration group with ties to white nationalism.

Thinking of how Barbara Jordan chaired some group that recommended a restriction on sponsorships in the 90s. And then NumbersUSA, one of the big 2 anti-immigration groups, made a few ads heralding this a few years ago portraying her as a woke restrictionist, I think one aired during the Super Bowl?

As you point out, there is no pro-immigration counterpart of the broad, focused, purpose-driven anti-immigrant network of CIS, VDARE, FAIR, NumbersUSA, parts of Heritage.

The founder of the anti-immigrant movement was Michigander and white nationalist John Tanton (1934-2019). He was founder of Federation for American Immigration Reform, Center for Immigration Studies, & NumbersUSA—all anti-immigrant orgs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ta...

anyway I wrote to the Woodhull leadership as someone who had a stake in what they allegedly are doing to give them some background on NumbersUSA and that was nine or ten months ago and they have only got worse
