The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a non-profit tax exempt organization in the United States that advocates changes in U.S. immigration policy that they believe would result in significant reductions in immigration, both legal and illegal. It reports a membership of more than 1.3 million members and supporters, and has been called to testify before the United States Congressional committees on immigration bills.
FAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and was founded on January 2, 1979 as the brainchild of Michigan surgeon and former president of Zero Population Growth John Tanton, former historian of labor movements and director of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions Otis L. Graham, Jr. and the late Sidney Swensrud, who was a former chairman of Gulf Oil and governing board member of Planned Parenthood. The founding chairman, John Tanton, became leader of several anti-immigration groups after his previous decade of leadership roles in the National Audubon Society and the population committee of the Sierra Club. FAIR's first executive director was environmental lawyer Roger Conner. Other co-founders included feminist Sharon Barnes, philanthropists Jay Harris and Stewart Mott (of the Stewart R. Mott Foundation) and William Paddock, dean of Zamorano the Pan American School of AgricultureDan Stein has been president of FAIR since 1988.
