Hate groups on the Times News opinion page

Twice in recent weeks the Times News has run anti-immigrant columns by Joe Guzzardi, identified as a Californians for Population Stabilization Senior Writing Fellow.  The latest one was published today, Friday, November 3.  The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified Californians for Population Stabilization as a hate group.

In an earlier column Mr. Guzzardi quoted at length from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, using statistics from that group to prove that immigrants were a drain on the economy.  The Federation for American Immigration Reform has also been identified as a hate group.


I know the Times News is a very conservative newspaper, owned by a very conservative publisher.  Nonetheless, I had hoped the paper would not stoop to using material from racist hate groups.
