According to WorldNetDaily columnist Leo Hohmann, "The grants [from PNAE] are to be used primarily for 'educating' the public on the merits of expanded immigration. PNAE works with the George Soros-funded groups National Immigration Forum and Welcoming America to educate Americans about the wonders of mass immigration. They say it creates economic growth and vitality and the more immigrants and refugees that flow into a city, state or county the more prosperity they can expect to enjoy."
