VDARE is an editorial collective Website which advocates for reduced immigration, including heightened selectivity in legal immigration into the United States . VDARE was created by former Forbes editor Peter Brimelow through his Center For American Unity . The political viewpoints of the collective range from Paleoconservatism to Isolationism , and from Immigration Reduction to Anti-immigration . VDARE is widely supported in the immigration-reduction movement through links and reprints of its articles. The name ''VDARE'' and the site's Symbol , the head of a white Doe , refer to Virginia Dare , the first child born to English immigrants in the New World . Soon after her birth she disappeared with the rest of an early English settlement, and legend has it that she was transformed into a white doe. The members of VDARE are: Peter Brimelow , Paul Craig Roberts , Steve Sailer , Bryanna Bevens , John Brimelow , Joseph E. Fallon , James Fulford , Joe Guzzardi , D. A. King , Juan Mann , Howard Sutherland , Brenda Walker , Allan Wall , John Wall , and Chilton Williamson . Notable VDARE guest contributors include: Virginia Abernethy , Kevin Michael Grace , Kevin B. MacDonald , Michelle Malkin , Rob Sanchez and Jared Taylor . Sam Francis was also a regular guest contributor until his death in 2005 . Peter Brimelow immigrated to the United States from Canada in the late 1970s ; he had left his homeland of the United Kingdom shortly after receiving an MBA from Stanford University in 1972. He is a Paleoconservative but states he regards "many of the Neoconservative leaders as personal friends as allies on the immigration issue. [http://www.vdare.com/letters/tl_102503.htm . CONTROVERSY AND CRITICISM Critics of VDARE charge that it publishes , head of American Renaissance , and the late Sam Francis , former editor of the newsletter of the Council Of Conservative Citizens , both of whom the SPLC considers to be White Supremacist . VDARE is also criticized by the SPLC for publishing articles by authors who deal with Race And Intelligence . The SPLC lists "VDARE/ Center For American Unity " on a list of organizations it calls "hate groups." {Link without Title} VDARE claims to be neutral on all issues save immigration reduction. VDARE columnist stated in his 1996 ''Alien Nation'', a best-selling book, that he regards the term 'racist' to have become a political "smear" (p.10). He states that he considers "the only rational definition of racism be committing and stubbornly persisting in error about people, regardless of evidence." VDARE contributors have responded to charges of racism by pointing to that VDARE carries original articles by authors of a number of ethnic backgrounds, including Filipina American Michelle Malkin (national columnist and author), Hispanic George Borjas (immigration economist and author), Native American David A. Yeagley (political writer), and Japanese American Lance T. Izumi (political writer and director of education studies at the Pacific Research Institute For Public Policy ). {Link without Title} Steve Sailer Steve Sailer , who often writes on Race And Intelligence issues, argued in a VDARE article following Hurricane Katrina , “Racial Reality And The New Orleans Nightmare,” that the lower average IQ of African-Americans found in intelligence research correlates with "poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups in the need for stricter moral guidance from society."[http://www.vdare.com/sailer/050903_new_orleans.htm] This was followed by some accusations of racism, most notably by defended Sailer in the '' National Review Online '' by citing large variance in Crime Rates By Race and birth rates for unmarried women by race. {Link without Title} According to Peter Brimelow , Sailer's original article has been emailed out by readers (through the link to "email article to a friend") at among the highest volumes seen by VDARE's articles.[http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2005/09/05/sailer-vs-jpod-on-no-nightmare/] EXTERNAL LINKS
