is with the word "credible". Remember these names:

FAIR, CIS, NumbersUSA.

They are anti-immigrant hate groups. Their members show up at town hall type events to disrupt them when the topic is immigration. They fabricate stats, and demonize immigrants ad nauseum. They are not credible and shouldn't be treated as such like NPR did this morning (without an opposing viewpoint even). Leave that stuff to Breitfart who cite those organizations ALL the time.
