Immigration Report Being Released Today Linked to White Supremacists

Last Friday, a highly conservative publication called Investor鈥檚 Business Daily (IBD) published an editorial on its website called that previewed a report 鈥 an analysis, as IBD noted, by one Edwin S. Rubenstein that is being published by The Social Contract journal. What IBD didn鈥檛 bother to tell its readers was the troubling truth about Rubenstein鈥檚 politics and those of his Michigan publisher.

According to IBD, Rubenstein鈥檚 report, 鈥淭he Fiscal Impact of Immigration: An Analysis of the Costs to 15 Federal Departments and Agencies,鈥 concludes that every immigrant to the United States costs taxpayers more than $9,000. That鈥檚 vastly , and no mention whatsoever is made of what most economists agree on 鈥攖hat immigrants, legal and otherwise, help grow the economy in ways that actually increase jobs for native Americans. But that鈥檚 no surprise, given where Rubenstein and his publisher are coming from.

The truth is that Rubenstein is a man who has written for years for a racist anti-immigration website called 鈥 short for Virginia Dare, said to be the first white child born in the New World. He also writes for the white supremacist . Last spring, the institute released a report, prepared with Rubenstein鈥檚 help, that paints 鈥渁 statistical and narrative portrait of the war on white America,鈥 in the website鈥檚 words. Nicholas Stix鈥檚 to the article describes the Supreme Court鈥檚 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education ruling outlawing school segregation as 鈥渁rguably the worse decision in the Court鈥檚 216 year history.鈥 He claims later civil rights legislation was unconstitutional. 鈥淸I]ntegration and the civil rights movement led directly to the destruction of great cities,鈥 he concludes.

Rubenstein鈥檚 publisher has its own sordid story. Although you鈥檇 never know it from the IBD editorial, (which publishes The Social Contract, the journal where the new report appears) is well known for its racist publications. The press was started by nativist ideologue and is run by his editor, , who has been on the board of advisors of the , a hate group that describes blacks as 鈥渁 retrograde species of humanity.鈥 In 1994, Tanton republished an infamous racist novel, , along with his wholehearted endorsement and a special afterword from its author saying 鈥渢he proliferation of other races dooms our race, my race, to extinction.鈥 The novel describes the 鈥渟warthy hordes鈥 of Indian immigrants who take over France, send white women to 鈥渁 w----house for Hindus,鈥 and engage in a grotesque orgy of men, women and children. The immigrants are described as 鈥渕onsters,鈥 鈥済rotesque little beggars from the streets of Calcutta,鈥 and worse. Unconcerned, Tanton said he was 鈥渉onored鈥 to republish what he described as an important and 鈥減rescient鈥 text.

None of this has stopped other websites from picking up on the IBD editorial. On Monday, it went up on the . It has been republished by the far-right Eagle Forum, on several nativist blogs, and the GOPUSA website. GOPUSA is a right-wing website that reportedly owns Talon News, the shady organization that credentialed (real name: Jeff Guckert) as a reporter who regularly attended White House news conferences. That ended in 2005, after Gannon's links to gay escort service websites (where he was known as "Bulldog") were exposed by liberal bloggers. Gannon had no real journalism background and, according to many reporters who attended White House briefings, seemed to be there simply to boost the Bush Administration and bash Democrats.

The editor of this blog contacted IBD Monday with some of these facts but no reply had been received as of today. Perhaps that should come as no surprise. After all, IBD since 2005 has been home to cartoonist , whose far-right views ended in his resignation from the L.A. Times despite his winning of the Pulitzer Prize. Among other things, Ramirez was , America鈥檚 largest hate group.
