Chip Berlet has spent over twenty-five years studying prejudice,
demonization, scapegoating, demagoguery, conspiracism, and
authoritarianism. He has investigated far right hate groups,
reactionary backlash movements, theocratic fundamentalism, civil
liberties violations, police misconduct, government and private
surveillance abuse, and other anti-democratic phenomena.
American white supremacist groups have a long and ugly history of using
anxieties over immigration as a recruitment tool. It’s happening again,
with a vengeance.
