In the Summer 2010 edition of SPLC Report, the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies the author of Arizona’s SB 1070, Russell Pearce, as a man who in 2006 e-mailed an article to his supporters  criticizing the media for promoting multiculturalism and racial equality and for presenting the Holocaust as fact.

Pearce, an Arizona State legislator, used lawyers with the Immigration Law Reform Institute to draft the law.  ILRI is the legal arm of  Federation for American Immigration Reform, (FAIR) .
