This publication is designed for the media, legislators and others who are actively involved in writing about or formulating immigration policy. Its purpose is to provide:

* A summary of FAIR’s 30-year record of advocacy on immigration.
* An examination into the SPLC’s motives, terminology and techniques used against FAIR and others.
* An objective third party analysis of the SPLC’s tactics and motivations.
* Conclusions and suggestions for fair reporting and open mindedness.
