The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is an American anti-immigration[3][4][5][6][7] think tank. It favors far lower immigration numbers and produces analyses to further those views. The CIS was founded by historian Otis L. Graham alongside eugenicist and white nationalist John Tanton in 1985 as a spin-off of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). It is one of a number of anti-immigration organizations founded by Tanton, along with FAIR and NumbersUSA. CIS has been involved in the creation of Project 2025.
Reports published by CIS have been disputed by scholars on immigration, fact-checkers and news outlets, and immigration-research organizations. The organization had significant influence within the Trump administration,[8] which cited the group's work to defend its immigration policies.[9] The Southern Poverty Law Center designated CIS as a hate group with ties to the American nativist movement.[10]
Mark Krikorian, the head of the Center for Immigration Studies, an influential anti-immigration think tank, told me last year.
... has been a goal of anti-immigration groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) for more than a decade.
The anti-immigration hardliner group Center for Immigration Studies is downplaying efforts by Trump and states like Tennessee.
