Who We Are
The Center for Immigration Studies is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research organization founded in 1985. It is the nation's only think tank devoted exclusively to research and policy analysis of the economic, social, demographic, fiscal, and other impacts of immigration on the United States. 

Our Mission
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.

Publications
The Center publishes Backgrounders, papers, and other reports. For a complete list, go to the publications page.

Listservs
The Center maintains two e-mail lists covering immigration news from around the world. To read about the lists and how to subscribe, click here.
