Golden Dawn (Greece): Halt all immigration. Promoting the slogan "Greece for the Greeks". Install bombs at borders to keep illegal immigrants out - Don't let tea partiers hear about this idea.

Northern League (Italy): Supports immigration from non-Muslim countries to promote the Christianity. - LN is one of Berlusconi's coalition partners and helped him win the most seats in the Senate in yesterday's election.

National Front (France): ... xenophobia is still one of the FN's trademarks. During a recent visit to the US, Le Pen met with Tea Party Republican Congressman Joe Walsh and with Ron Paul ... - Thankfully the FN lost last year's election to the Socialist Party.

Nationalism is the common thread uniting far-right groups. Being anti-immigrant, anti-EU (or anti-UN and other international organizations that limit national 'sovereignty') are a product of their nationalism.
