"Critics" criticize Bloomberg poll on immigration (See the "critics")

The republican rag Daily Caller posted an article saying that "critics" criticized a recent Bloomberg poll finding high support for President Obama's immigration move not to deport many illegal immigrants. But the unprofessional rag does not identify the critics as anti-immigration right-wing organizations (NumbersUSA and the Federation for American Immigration Reform). Here's the link to the Daily Caller article:

Here are articles with information about who's behind NumbersUSA and the "FAIR" group: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=NumbersUSA

"FAIR" is designated as a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center (From the Sourcewatch link above):

"The founder, chief ideologue and long-time funder of FAIR [John Tanton] is a racist. Key staff members have ties to white supremacist groups, some are members, and some have spoken at hate group functions. FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from a racist foundation devoted to studies of race and IQ, and to eugenics - the pseudo-science of breeding a better human race that was utterly discredited by the Nazi euthanasia program. It spreads racist conspiracy theories."
