Start your search with racist abortionist John Tanton, founder of both those groups, and conclude it with the radical leftist zero population growth (abortion, sterilization, one child policy) statements still buried in the back pages of those organizations’ websites.
My search shows a who’s who of Hate-the-USA groups who have nothing good to say about the man, which becomes an endorsement to at least some degree. I will keep your concern in mind.
But conservatives should despise him for his liberal, human-hating philosophy that says population growth is the problem and that restricting immigration is just one means toward the ultimate goal of population control, and be skpetical of groups like FAIR and NumbersUSA who subscribe to similar philosophies.
I really believe that one thing holding the immigration reform movement back is a lack of skepticism when confronted with strange new bedfellows. Common purpose is one thing, but common principle can be entirely different.
I like your perspective.
And the following:
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
— Theodore Roosevelt, Republican President
Several years later now, and it looks like that is exactly the case. Gilchrist's endorsement is for sale.
