The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organization in the United States.[6][7] The group publishes position papers, organizes events, and runs campaigns in order to advocate for changes in U.S. immigration policy. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies FAIR as a hate group with ties to white supremacist groups.[8][9][10][11][12]

FAIR was founded in 1979 by Michigan surgeon and white nationalist John Tanton.[13][14][15] Other co-founders include Otis Graham and former Gulf Oil chief executive officer Sydney Swensrud. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
