Going to tweet some things—nothing new—but all in one place to give some context on the anti-immigrant movement, one of their leaders who now is in government, Russia and their secret funding from, yes, people who proudly led the eugenics movement.
You probably saw the story yesterday that top DHS (including some illegally appointed) officials ordered reports to be altered to downplay threats of Russian interference intended to help POTUS. So obviously there is a political reason for this, and... https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/09/trump-intel-threats-russia-white-supremacists-dhs-whistleblower.html
...it’s worth remember that these same DHS officials have done horrible things and they lie constantly. They lied in 2017 (they’re still pretending they weren’t caught out of the loop on the first Muslim travel ban), in 2018, in 2019 and were lying this week.
Let’s look at Ken Cuccinelli. Like a number of other DHS officials, he has extremely close ties to the anti-immigrant group.
Look at this group—FAIR. They:
1) Called for a complete moratorium on all immigration & wanted “zero” immigrants for 50 years https://plotagainstimmigrants.com/network/

2) They took $1 million from the avowed White Supremacist Pioneer Fund
3) Their President said immigration was about “subsidizing people with low IQs to have as many children as possible”
4) Their founder wrote “The Case for Passive Eugenics”
So guess who ran a FAIR affiliate...

Well, per his own press release, Ken Cuccinelli took a leadership role with the Orwellian named “State Legislators for Legal Immigration.” Which was a project/affiliate of FAIR. See here.
FAIR of course is also a designated Hate Group.

And lest you think this is just one perspective, you can read this perspective (I do not share many of these views!) on how the anti-immigrant movement and funders grew directly out of the eugenics and zero population growth movement. https://humanlifereview.com/hijacking-immigration/
Now.
There have been 3 obsessions of this anti-immigrant movement to note:
1) Stopping immigration from Latin America
2) Anti-Muslim bigotry
3) Viewing immigration from Asia (from the Middle East through India to China and all places in between) as a existential numerical threat

The horribly racist “The Camp of the Saints” — published by John Tanton, beloved by Steve Bannon, is focuses on the third, with a “lesson” - there should have been a transnational alliance of “white” people
(Also the “real” enemy are those in Europe who welcome the immigrants)

For years, far right parties, Nero-Nazis and anti-immigrant movement has exposed an admiration for Putin. Why?
Well in their own words: his anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant rhetoric and actions. And the Kremlin directly supports far-right anti-immigrant parties outside of Russia.

When White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis chanted “Jews Will Not Replace Us” in Charlottesville—their chant about how Jews are “imported” immigrants to “destroy white people”, they also heaped praise on Putin. https://www.justsecurity.org/68420/confronting-russias-role-in-transnational-white-supremacist-extremism/
Lest it seem the idea of a far-right alliance with Putin to stop immigrants from China and India seems like a secret plot, here is Steve Bannon saying it out loud. Now he’s a propagandist, but... https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/07/sinister-history-behind-the-rights-putin-mania-steve-bannon-china
This pro-Kremlin sentiment is *deeply* engrained not just in European far-right parties (that they fund) but in the US anti-immigrant movement.
The Trump admin has slashed immigration from Asian countries.

So to wrap this up:
Top DHS officials got caught suppressing evidence of Russian interference, but at least one of these same officials have spent a career pursue it an anti-immigrant agenda they see as aligned with the Kremlin.
