Nativist Groups 2009

What follows is a list of groups that the Intelligence Project has determined to be "nativist extremist" organizations, meaning that they target individual immigrants rather than immigration policies. The groups are listed with their locations when known; locations of groups that are statewide units with no known headquarters are designated by state name alone. Groups that are also listed by the Intelligence Project as hate groups are designated by an asterisk (*).
