The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is a non-profit, non-partisan research organization. Its executive director is Mark Krikorian.[1]
Its mission statement states:
It is the Center's mission to expand the base of public knowledge and understanding of the need for an immigration policy that gives first concern to the broad national interest. The Center is animated by a pro-immigrant, low-immigration vision which seeks fewer immigrants but a warmer welcome for those admitted.[2]
The CIS publishes books, reports, and papers on immigration policy. These analyses address issues such as immigrant voting and electoral redistricting, impacts on low-wage and high-skilled workers, terrorism concerns, and the environmental consequences of immigration.
The CIS was founded and funded by John Tanton in 1985 as an offshoot of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).[3][4][5][6]
Research and reports are available free to the public at the Center's website.
