UPDATE: the_8th, no, YOU miss the whole picture again, you then attack the messenger, and in that you smear, and you misrepresent the key point made clear to you by, F6 .. which is the fact that Beck is not arguing the most needy be taken in, (he throws his morsel of truth that most immigrants taken by any country are not the most needy, which most here would have been aware of for some 40 years), but in fact Roy Beck is anti-immigration period, not to help the other countries, but in his sick mind to preserve his own master race country .. F6's link with Beck in Australia puts proof to that point (did you open it? .. you only had to glance at it) ..
Cut immigration or be like US, visiting lobbyist warns
.. lol, F6, had to be Australia, sunshine coast in the link confirmed it .. the_8th, Roy Beck rang a bell, glad i found one .. excerpt ..
The meeting with Tancredo and Bilbray — and the entire lobbying operation in mid-February — was masterminded by NumbersUSA, an anti-immigration group that had recently opened a "government relations office" in a three-story, red-brick Victorian near the Capitol.
NumbersUSA hosted an afternoon open house at its plush new digs, where the lobbyists relaxed, nibbled on catered food, and conversed with the leaders and other officials of key anti-immigration organizations.
Patrick McHugh of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, which purports to be a squeaky clean think tank that rejects racism, was there pressing the flesh along with Barbara Coe, head of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, who repeatedly referred to Mexicans — as she has for years — as "savages."
The Citizens Informer, a white supremacist tabloid put out by the Council of Conservative Citizens hate group, was available.
NumbersUSA executive director Roy Beck, a long-time friend of Coe's, adopted a more moderate tone when he addressed his guests and told them what they should be doing to end the current immigration regime.
It would be better, Beck counseled, if their attempts to lobby legislators that week did not appear to be orchestrated by NumbersUSA. For their campaign to be effective, he said, it "needs to look like a grassroots effort." [bold added]
Grassroots — or AstroTurf?
To be sure, this was no grassroots effort. Nor is NumbersUSA, in any sense of the word, a grassroots organization.
Despite attempts to appear otherwise, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Inc., a sprawling, nonprofit funding conduit that has spawned three anti-immigration groups and underwrites several others, many of which were represented at the NumbersUSA conclave.
