A coalition of hate groups, nativist extremists, the California American Legion, Christian Right organizations and prominent members of Congress, including the head of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, a punishing anti-immigrant ballot initiative now gathering signatures for California鈥檚 June 2010 ballot, according to the website of .

The initiative aims to 鈥渂ring an END to 鈥榖irth tourism鈥欌�� by requiring an 鈥渋llegal alien birth mother to apply in person for a 鈥楤irth to Foreign Parent鈥� document, pay an additional fee, submit full identity [and] means of support [information] with photographs and fingerprints, all of which is transmitted to the United States Department of Homeland Security.鈥� It would also create an entirely new 鈥淐alifornia Birth Certificate鈥� for all other births. The group claims that ending the 14th Amendment鈥檚 guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the United States, which it considers 鈥渁 feudalistic, uncivilized practice rooted in Medieval England,鈥� is 鈥渃ritical toward reducing the crime problem.鈥� (This claim ignores numerous studies that show that immigrants are, in fact, significantly less criminal than native Americans.)

Called the California Taxpayer Protection Act, the initiative would end pre-natal and non-emergency care and child welfare checks 鈥渄eposited into illegal aliens鈥� bank accounts for the anchor babies鈥� (meaning children born in the United States and who are therefore American citizens). 鈥淚t is time to stop the proliferation of the Third World in the United States,鈥� Taxpayer Revolution concludes.

The initiative appears to be the handiwork of Ted J. Hilton, who on Taxpayer Revolution鈥檚 website to have held 鈥渢he first daytime demonstrations along the border 鈥� beginning in 1990鈥� and to have spent 17 years studying 鈥�14th Amendment's original intent.鈥� Hilton says he has 鈥渨orked closely鈥� with the (IRLI) to prepare the initiative鈥檚 text. IRLI is the 鈥減ublic interest law affiliate鈥� of the (FAIR), a hard-line nativist group that has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2007. FAIR is listed because of the racist and eugenicist and , along with a number of other reasons.

On board with Taxpayer Revolution are the hate groups California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR), whose leader is also a member of the white supremacist , and the (AICF). Both groups have produced racist anti-immigrant materials. AICF head John Vinson, for instance, has that whites 鈥渉ave every legitimate reason to fear and resist a substantial racial/ethnic shift.鈥�

Two also have endorsed the initiative: the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC), who were labeled 鈥渧igilantes鈥� by President George Bush, and the San Diego Minutemen, whose members and makeshift huts on a videotape that appears to have been shot in McGonigle Canyon in San Diego.

Several politicians are listed as supporters of the initiative, most importantly Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.), a former lobbyist for FAIR who now heads the House鈥檚 Immigration Reform Caucus. Also listed are Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-Calif.) and California State Sen. Tom Harmon (R-Huntington Beach).

National anti-immigration groups, too, are on board. According to Taxpayer Revolution, NumbersUSA 鈥渉as made a commitment to direct their over 75,000 California members to the website to support the initiative campaign and download the petition.鈥� Peter Nunez, who is leads the board of the Center for Immigration Studies, is also listed as an endorser. Even one Christian Right leader has signed on 鈥� Phyllis Nemeth, the state director of the state chapter of Concerned Women of America.

Also endorsing the initiative is the California branch of the American Legion, a leading veterans group that Taxpayer Revolution describes as 鈥渧ery concerned that even illegal alien criminals, drug dealers and terrorists can give birth to a citizen.鈥� Increasingly hard-line about immigration, the national American Legion recently published an that relied on several extremists for key claims. In August, a Colorado American Legion post what it called a three day 鈥渘ational security convention鈥� that discussed nothing but 鈥渋llegal immigration.鈥� On the bill was , who leads the vitriolic hate groups American Patrol and American Border Patrol and who is well known for spouting anti-Latino comments. In 1996, for instance, he wrote in a 1996 letter to The Los Angeles Times that 鈥淢exican culture is based on deceit鈥� and 鈥淐hicanos and Mexicanos lie as a means of survival.鈥�

Taxpayer Revolution鈥檚 initiative would face severe legal challenges if it were to pass. Rhonda Brownstein, director of the 人兽性交鈥檚 legal department, told Hatewatch categorically: 鈥淚t would violate the U.S. Constitution.鈥�
