What a shocker: Former high-level staffers from two Southern Poverty Law Center designated hate groups “have obtained high-level advisory jobs at federal immigration agencies in the Department of Homeland Security,” according to CNN. Because when you want to move up the ladder in the anti-immigrant world, where else is there to go but the Trump administration:
Jon Feere, a former legal policy analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies, or CIS, has been hired as an adviser to Thomas D. Homan, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Homeland Security spokesman David Lapan.
At Customs and Border Protection, Julie Kirchner, the former executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, has been hired as an adviser to Customs and Border Protection acting Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, said Lapan.
CIS was just recently designated a hate group by the SPLC, which resulted in executive director and noted snowflake Mark Krikorian throwing a hissy fit over at the Washington Post, where he basically claimed that his group can’t be racist because no white hoods or burning crosses are involved. But both CIS and its founder, white nationalist, eugenics-enthusiast, and retired eye doctor John Tanton, have a nasty history:
Papers from Tanton’s library show he “has for decades been at the heart of the white nationalist scene. He has corresponded with Holocaust deniers, former Klan lawyers and the leading white nationalist thinkers of the era.” And according to Think Progress, “Tanton is a strict nativist who once wrote a paper titled ‘The Case for Passive Eugenics.’” Charming.
