Federation for American Immigration Reform

Public education - fair reaches people across america (and around the world) informing and educating them about Immigration's impact on national security, public safety, the economy, natural resources and public health. In 2022, fair continued to provide insight, perspective, and clarity on the issues affected by unchecked mass migration and irresponsible Immigration policies. Our original research continues to serve as the basis for outreach efforts, providing the factual analysis underlying all of our print, radio and television and digital outreach activities. We also support a growing network of grassroots activists who attempt to educate local politicians and thought leaders on the Immigration issue. The resources we make available via our website are regularly sought after by social media influencers, federal agencies, legislators, law enforcement officials, citizen activists, students, journalists, other researchers, and the general public. In fact, a number of fair's publications have recently been cited by media and political figures. We regularly address middle school, high school, and college groups to discuss our research and provide guidance to students conducting their own research for school projects, term papers and dissertations (undergraduate, master's level, and doctoral).

Media - fair's media/communications program provides essential educational and activism materials to the American public, giving them the digital resources they need to make informed decisions about public policy. Using our strategic multi-channel messaging capabilitiesfair'scommunications apparatus strategically serves fair's branded content to key communities. Fair's online supporters have access to real time blogs, articles, radio hits, tv interviews, op-eds, facebook lives, educational videos, press releases, email newsletters and activist alerts which allow them to contact their representatives about critical Immigration issues.

State and local engagement - fair's state and local engagement (sle) department educated state and local lawmakers and their staff around the country on a variety of critical Immigration issues. In particular, sle spent a significant amount of time working on drafting legislation, research, testimony, and educational materials about sanctuary cities, e-verify, driver's licenses/ids, and in-state tuition for illegal aliens. We involved our grassroots activists in our legislative efforts by issuing action alerts, developing talking points, and submitting testimony supporting or opposing proposed bills as well as providing legislative and issue analysis.sle helped secure the following victories in 2022: in Kansas, sle worked with sheriffs and activists to pass anti-sanctuary legislation. We were able to get unanimous support for this bill from law enforcement in the state. In Tennessee, sle supported a bill that requires individuals to be us citizens to vote. Sle worked with legislators in new hampshire to pass an anti-sanctuary bill through the house. In north carolina, sle worked with sheriffs and activists to pass a bill to require law enforcement officers to honor detainers, however, it was ultimately vetoed. Defensively, sle stopped legislation in Maryland that would allow aliens to circumvent Immigration consequences for criminal activity as well as a bill to provide taxpayer-funded legal counsel to aliens in deportation proceedings. Finally, sle prevented the issuance of professional licenses to illegal aliens in maryland.to engage our activists and leaders, sle organized three regional conferences. Sle also hosted 30 sheriffs from across the country to a conference addressing the border crisis and resulting fentanyl crisis. Sle provided critical assistance to other departments within fair, including reviewing op-eds and other materials for fair's media department as well as providing the advancement department with ideas for ad campaigns. Sle also assisted in fair's overall educational mission by contributing a significant number of blogs and articles for public education, discussing legislation and current events impacting americans at the state and local levels.
