Anti-Immigration Forces Fail To Take Over Sierra Club

HeadlineApr 22, 2004

The Sierra Club has announced that anti-immigration advocates have failed in their bid to take over control of the century-old environmental organization. A slate of candidates who back strict controls on immigration attempted to win five open seats, but members of the Sierra Club overwhelmingly rejected the candidates. Sierra Club President Larry Fahn said “I think the agenda of those looking to bring immigration to our organization was soundly defeated. We should now focus… on the mission most of us consider most important this year: defeating President Bush and his horrendous environmental policies.”
