Center for Immigration Studies

Center for Immigration Studies logo

The Center for Immigration Studies is one of the network of anti-immigration groups founded by John Tanton, an activist with white nationalist leanings and a fondness for extreme “population control” measures. Tanton founded CIS in 1985 to “wage a war of ideas” on immigration; today, CIS spokespeople are frequently quoted in the media, and its studies supply the anti-immigrant movement and its allied politicians with a stream of talking points and figures to back up their positions. Based in Washington, D.C., CIS is led by Executive Director Mark Krikorian.
