Headed by a socialist who serves on the board of George Soros’ Open Society Institute, the Fair Immigration Reform Movement accuses the Tea Party of engaging in “racial and ethnic hate-mongering.”
The Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) was established in 2000 as a project of the Center for Community Change (CCC), one of the most prominent and well-funded groups lobbying for open-borders legislation. CCC’s Immigrant Organizing Committee (IOC) functions as the governing body of FIRM and is itself composed of 30 organizations including, most notably, the Gamaliel Foundation.
FIRM describes itself as “a national coalition of grassroots organizations fighting for immigrant rights at the local, state and federal level.” In 2007, FIRM endorsed a series of principles advocating “economic justice” and an “increase” in the number of “refugees” coming into America, a declaration which it proceeded to send to Congress. FIRM states that its leading goals are to build a powerful progressive alliance and voting bloc by rallying “low-income and people of color communities.”
FIRM believes that America is a racist country and, therefore, needs to be radically transformed by the progressive community. In a February 2009 address to the Liberty Hill Foundation, Deepak Bhargava -- the socialist Executive Director of the CCC, a board member of George Soros’ Open Society Institute, and a co-founder of FIRM -- celebrated “the election of the first African-American president in a country that is still deeply structured by racism.” Bhargava argued, moreover, that Barack Obama’s election “expanded the electorate” and opened up “the possibility of permanent progressive change”; he speculated further that “the arc of history is maybe beginning once again, after forty long, hard, dark years to bend towards justice.”
FIRM has been quick to label any perceived opposition movement or organization as "racist." For example, while the first National Tea Party Convention was in progress in Nashville, Tennessee (February, 2010), Bhargava was among the first activists to propagate the narrative that the Tea Party movement was racist -- announcing that there “should be no place in America for this type of racial and ethnic hate-mongering.”

Still more White House officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, have ties to an effort funded by billionaire George Soros to push for a new, “progressive” U.S. Constitution.
WND previously reported how President Obama’s regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, maintained extensive ties to Soros’ funding, particularly with regard to a movement that openly seeks to create a “progressive” consensus on what the U.S. Constitution should provide by the year 2020.
