<span class="entry-content">Tanton created groups that billed themselves as fact-based think tanks and lobbyists. Instead, those groups spread propaganda targeting immigrants that has become central to President Trump's immigration policy.

Tanton, 85, died Tuesday in Petoskey, [[:Category:Michigan|Michigan]]. The [[:Category:Federation for American Immigration Reform|Federation for American Immigration Reform]] (FAIR), an SPLC-designated hate group that Tanton launched in [[:Category:1979|1979]], announced his death in a press release.

Tanton's anti-immigrant influence goes far beyond FAIR. He founded or funded 13 anti-immigrant organizations, including three of the most influential anti-immigrant groups in the United States – FAIR, the [[:Category:Center for Immigration Studies|Center for Immigration Studies]] (CIS), and [[:Category:NumbersUSA|NumbersUSA]] – known as the "Big Three."</span>
