K.    Give at least one citation

“Arguing that "we must restore integrity to America's immigration system and effectively enforce our laws" in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the coalition [United to Secure] has retained lobbyists from Podesta/Mattoon, Butera & Andrews, Global USA, the Solomon Group and Hall, Green, Rupli.” (“Coalition Forms To Lobby For Enforcing Immigration Laws” CongressDaily AM,  Dec 18 2001, p15). This article tells us what actions United to Secure did to support improvements in immigration system.

L.     Any other issues of interest

This organization got some millions from Pioneer Fund, established anti-immigrant organization. So, in my opinion, purpose of the creating this organization is just to get some government’s money as well, as to get some extra votes in next elections ( reminding, that United to Secure was created by FAIR president Dan Stein).

M.   Is the agency pro or con immigration

                  It is an anti-migrant organization.
