Yikes! Thanks Ann for bringing this to our attention. I’m so glad you looked
carefully at this book!
We do not have this book but I’m going to search for this organization to see
if anything else pops up that we might have.

Subject: [baisl] CQ book
Just wondering if anyone else has purchased the CQ Press Guide to U.S.
Economic Policy . We got it as an ebook from Gale as had looked over the Table
of Contents and several entries. BUT then we ran across this article: on pages
347-359: The Fiscal and Economic Impact of Immigration: The Current Debate
authored by Steven
Camarota<http://go.galegroup.com/ps/advancedSearch.do?method=doSearch&searchType=AdvancedSearchForm&userGroupName=moun80651&inputFieldNames%5b0%5d=AU&prodId=GVRL&inputFieldValues%5b0%5d=%22Steven+Camarota%22>,
Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Turns out this group is on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of hate
groups, and it has published white nationalists and anti-semitics. We also
found the article very problematical, starting with a statement early on
equating green card holders with illegal immigrants. I have written to both
Gale and CQ about my objections to including this article in what should be a
factual book. Just wondered if anyone else had this book or has run across
this article?
