merely unmasking the truth? Users in this section have been underfire from people that support Anti-immigration Groups or members of those groups just because they expose those group's racist ties. They get attacked and are called 'race baiters' when sharing facts.
Is exposing these group's racist ties 'race baiting'?
or is it merely informing Americans and unmasking the truth?
One example:

Center for Immigration Studies Plays with Numbers and Bigotry
Founded in 1985 to serve as the statistical arm to an anti-immigrant network created by nativist and white nationalist John Tanton, the Center for Immigration Studies has been quoted frequently by unaware journalists, and its data used without qualifications by elected officials and academics around the United States.
Since the beginning of February the head of CIS, Mark Krikorian, has been increasingly under fire for his association with nativist John Tanton and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The national civil rights organization The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reported in a February 2009 Special Report that Krikorian’s relationship with Tanton and FAIR were much more extensive than he had led the public to believe.
In the report SPLC reveals a letter Tanton in which tells a potential philanthropist that to give CIS a sense of credibility it would need to be independent of FAIR. Tanton continues in his letter to make clear that CIS would be starting off as a project of FAIR.
