Frank Vardeman was formerly the executive director of the Resource Center of the Americas. This is a leftist, non-profit organization that promotes open borders with Mexico and other countries of the Americas; mass, unregulated immigration; and granting permanent legal status and citizenship to illegal aliens currently residing in the U.S.  Mr. Vardeman opposes allowing law-enforcement officials to arrest illegal aliens for violation of immigration laws, or to report such individuals to federal authorities. He deems it proper that police officers “not act as intelligence agents or enforcement arms” for what he calls “the national administration’s anti-immigrant policies.”

Vardeman is currently retired.
