She describes herself as an "ethnic separatist".[2] An outspoken opponent of immigration, she has called for a complete moratorium on immigration into the United States.[2] She claims that immigrants devalue the workforce, deplete scarce resources, adversely impact carrying capacity, and that Third World immigration has led to a rise in dangerous diseases within the United States.[3] She has countered claims of racism against her by pointing to her friendship with Jesse Lee Peterson.[4]
In 2012 the Anti-Defamation League
referred to her as an "unabashed white supremacist", which she denied.
Adding her to a list of 30 new activists heading the radical right, the Southern Poverty Law Center called her a "full-fledged professor of hate".[5]
