Dan Stein

Dan Stein, an American attorney, served as president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) from 1988 until his retirement in March 2025, after joining the organization in 1982 and later leading its legal affiliate, IRLI. Under his leadership, FAIR became one of the most influential anti‑immigration organizations in Washington, frequently testifying before Congress, shaping restrictive immigration debates, and advancing controversial policy proposals including ending birthright citizenship and limiting both legal and illegal immigration—positions that have drawn strong criticism and classification as a extremist group by the SPLC.
