Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., dedicated to advocating for reduced immigration levels in the United States. Its core mission involves improving border security, curbing illegal immigration, and promoting immigration policies that align with what it defines as the national interest, aiming for more traditional rates of approximately 300,000 immigrants per year.

FAIR's activities encompass public education, media engagement, and government relations. The organization informs the public about the perceived economic, sociological, environmental, and demographic impacts of immigration through various channels, including blogs, articles, radio and TV interviews, and press releases. It also works to educate lawmakers and staff at state and local levels, and its government relations team advocates for its policy priorities in Congress. FAIR publishes position papers, research, and policy analyses on immigration issues, offering data on the costs and prevalence of immigration.

Recent activities include congratulating congressional leadership on a reconciliation package that secures funding for border security and interior immigration enforcement through the current administration. Leadership includes President Dan Stein, Executive Director and General Counsel Dale Wilcox, and Chairman of the Board Donald Collins Jr. FAIR is classified as an anti-immigration organization, and the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies it as a hate group with ties to white supremacist groups.
