FAIR "Hold Their Feet to the Fire" Radio Row  ... >
April 10, 2014 - The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) held its eighth annual "Hold Their Feet to the Fire" talk radio row April 9-10 at the Phoenix Park Hotel.  Members of Congress, several sheriffs and others opposed to illegal immigration do interviews with radio talk show hosts from across the country during the event.  The aim is "to secure our borders, fight for immigration reforms that promote our broad American goals and to resist special interests demanding cheap foreign labor, political gains and expanded government."

FAIR advocates "true immmigration reform" (+), a very dfferent view than those seeking "comprehensive immigration reform."
