magazine, the most overtly white nationalist organ of network of , so outdid itself with its fall 2010 edition calling for a ban on Muslim immigration that even some of its readership reacted with distaste.

The 68-page volume was packed with anti-Islamic rhetoric and featured contributions from Muslim-bashers like Stop Islamization of America founder ; right-wing attack dog , who once called Islam a 鈥渃ar-burning cult,鈥� and Stella Paul, who writes about Islam for the far-right magazine American Thinker, where she recently described President Obama as 鈥渞apper-in-chief.鈥� It closed with an essay by K.C. McAlpin, who described Islam as a 鈥渉ostile, intolerant, and totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion鈥� that 鈥渘eeds to be quarantined in the failed states it has already infected.鈥�

McAlpin, who last July took a new job as a kind of successor to long-time mentor Tanton, apparently got some pushback from readers of the racist magazine 鈥� a remarkable thing, given that the journal has published such things as a special issue entitled 鈥淓urophobia: the Hostility Toward European-Descended Americans.鈥� The issue railed against multiculturalism, arguing that it was replacing 鈥渟uccessful Euro-American culture鈥� with 鈥渄ysfunctional Third World cultures.鈥� The other journal principals are , a one-time member of white supremacist hate groups, and , who has written for white supremacist publications.

On Feb. 2, McAlpin posted on The Social Contract鈥檚 website a reply essay addressed to 鈥渢houghtful observers鈥� who criticized the proposal to bar Muslims from immigrating to the U.S. (It explicitly was not addressed to 鈥渙ur adversaries on the far left who get a case of the vapors whenever limits on mass immigration are proposed.鈥�) But he hardly took it back. 鈥淎 ban on Muslim immigration is 鈥� a practical and necessary way to defend ourselves against the growing threat of homegrown terrorism the U.S. faces in the 21^st Century,鈥� he wrote.

McAlpin鈥檚 posture suggested that while Tanton 鈥� in his late 70s and reportedly suffering from Parkinson鈥檚 disease 鈥� may be fading from the scene, his radicalism is not. McAlpin is a long-time acolyte of Tanton鈥檚, and until July headed a nativist group called ProEnglish, which is actually a project of U.S. Inc., the funding umbrella founded and long run by Tanton. That month, he moved to Tanton鈥檚 home state of Michigan to take over U.S. Inc., suggesting that he is, in effect, the heir to the architect of most of the contemporary anti-immigration movement. U.S. Inc. funds The Social Contract and a large number of other nativist groups.

There鈥檚 more to suggest that Tanton is essentially withdrawing from the fray. U.S. Immigration Reform PAC, another nativist funding mechanism that was long run by his wife Mary Lou (and on whose board McAlpin sits), announced in November that James Edwards would be its new manager. (Note to regular Hatewatch readers: He is not the who runs white supremacist Political Cesspool radio show and blog.)

Edwards, who is also a legislative consultant to and a fellow at 鈥� both of them originally Tanton creations 鈥� once served as a staffer for the late Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), a long-time and unrepentant segregationist who fought fiercely against civil rights legislation. He has聽written at least one article for The Social Contract, and has been cited or quoted in many others. In 2003, he testified before a congressional committee in favor of legislation that would enable local police agencies to enforce some federal immigration laws. Testifying alongside him was , then senior counsel to the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), the legal arm of the nativist (FAIR). (FAIR was founded by John Tanton, who remains on its board today. The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed FAIR as a hate group since 2007 because of its ties to white supremacy.) Kobach and his IRLI colleagues have been instrumental in writing and defending a series of constitutionally dubious anti-immigrant laws, including last year鈥檚 notorious S.B. 1070 in Arizona.

Earlier, in 1996, of FAIR鈥檚 short-lived cable talk show 鈥淏orderline鈥� that featured far-right columnist (who went on to become the editorial director of the explicitly racist ), along with Peter Skerry of the Brookings Institute. The topic, in McAlpin鈥檚 words, was 鈥渢he relentless march against our border 鈥� is it immigration or colonization?鈥� Predictably, Francis agreed that it was the latter. (Skerry did not, and in reward was repeatedly cut off while attempting to make his point.) In a different 鈥淏orderline鈥� segment on 鈥渆thnic separatists,鈥� McAlpin warned viewers that Mexicans want to reconquer the American Southwest: 鈥淭his is a serious issue and a serious threat.鈥�

ProEnglish unpersuasively masks its anti-immigration agenda with rhetoric about the importance of making English America鈥檚 official language. For instance, it opposed the DREAM Act, which would allow some undocumented youths to eventually become citizens, 鈥渂ecause it would effectively legalize approximately 2 million illegal aliens 鈥� without specific steps requiring to prove they are English proficient.鈥� (In fact, the act would have applied to students who had lived in the U.S. for at least five years and earned a high school diploma or equivalent 鈥� all but assuring aptitude in English). ProEnglish also opposed Puerto Rican statehood because the linguistic difference it would 鈥渆ndanger our nation鈥檚 unity鈥� and 鈥渋ncrease demands for taxpayer-funded translation and interpreter services.鈥�

In June 2006, McAlpin and Edwards joined other far-right conservatives in signing a 鈥� Among the signatories were Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, antigovernment 鈥淧atriot鈥� of the conspiracy-minded American Policy Center, and a representative of 鈥檚 extreme-right Accuracy in Media. In 2008 and 2009, McAlpin鈥檚 ProEnglish poured $83,000 into a movement called Nashville English First that aimed to make Nashville the largest U.S. city with English as an official language. The proposal was defeated by voters in January 2009.
