CAPS Fellow Concerned Immigration Bill “Invites the World,” Especially Canadian Muslims

In a May 15 blog post for Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS), Senior Writing Fellow Joe Guzzardi cloaked his usual population alarmism with anti-Muslim fear mongering. The post titled, “COME ONE, COME ALL; S. 744 INVITES THE WORLD,” discusses provisions in currently proposed immigration legislation that will allow Canadian residents over 55 to stay in the United States without a visa for 240 days rather than the current 182 allowed. This, according to Guzzardi, should not be viewed as an “innocuous request.” Instead, it should be alarming because “the fastest growing religious population in Canada is Islam.” Guzzardi’s attempts to cast Muslims as a threat is seemingly provoked by nothing other than his own personal anti-Muslim bigotry – religion is not mentioned anywhere else in the piece.
