Anti-immigration group attempts to take over the Sierra Club

In These Times | Hostile Takeover

The Sierra Club has bombarded me with letters over the past 2 years in an attempt to get me to join. I was finally getting ready to break down and join when I found out that an anti-immigration group is attempting to take control of the Sierra Club’s Board of Directors. If they gain control, they plan to have the Sierra Club lobby Congress for immigration limits.

I don’t think the Sierra Club should lobby anyone about immigration limits. When I think Sierra Club, I think environment, not immigration. I guess I’ll wait until after the April 21 ballot count to decide whether or not I join.
