    • Abstract:
      The article offers a look at the anti-immigration activity in the U.S. The number of state and local anti-immigration groups in the country has increased by 600 percent in 2005 and 2006. A national network of organizations have been working to end immigration in the country. 35 groups focus on research, advocacy, fundraising, and lobbying to influence state and federal policies, while 6 focus on promoting the English language and campaigning against the translation of official documents.
