The insightful Mark Krikorian, executive director of the indispensable Center for Immigration Studies, a frequent guest on national TV news shows and a contributor to National Review Online, respects his readers, reasons closely and relies on good, old-fashioned logic. "[...] mass immigration is incompatible with a modern society," Krikorian observes. Huge numbers of immigrants who attain a type of cosmopolitanism combine with corrosive social forces like mumculturalism, political correctness and race-based policies.

Dallas.- Organizaciones antiinmigrantes en Estados Unidos están empezando a culpar de la crisis económica que vive el país a los indocumentados y a las "élites políticas", a las que acusan de promover créditos hipotecarios como política social.
Estamos en un caos porque nuestras élites políticas pensaron que era una buena política social promover que los bancos otorgaran hipotecas a gente no sujeta de crédito", aseguró Mark Krikorian, director del Centro de Estudios de Inmigración, organización que se opone a la inmigración indocumentada.
Bank of America y otros grandes bancos estadunidenses aprovecharon también los mecanismos de identificación que por primera vez estaban disponibles para los indocumentados, como la Matrícula Consular y el "Numero de Identificación Individual del Contr...

McCain's aide
Sen. John McCain's Hispanic outreach director, Juan Hernandez, has become an issue in the Republican presidential campaign because, among other things, he has served in the Mexican government, Mark Krikorian writes at National Review Online (www.nationalreview .com).

TPS was invented for this kind of situation, but it has been turned into somedting much more permanent," said Mark Krikorian, of the Center for Immigration Studies. "And while we probably should grant TPS to Haitians who were here before the earthquake, we really need to make sure it's temporary.
"This is an unfathomable tragedy," [Lincoln Diaz-Balart] said. "It begs the question: 'How much does Haiti have to suffer before Haitians in die U.S. are granted TPS?'"
[Kendrick Meek] said Friday mat the White House may be taking time to grant TPS to make sure that people on the island understand it would only affect Haitians in the U.S. before the earthquake. That is to ensure that people still in Haiti don't leave the nation en masse dunking they will be granted protective status when they...

A frequent contributor to National Review Online, he authored the 2008 book "The New Case Against Immigration, Both Legal and Illegal.

Lo que vemos en las calles es la afirmación cruda de poder por parte de extranjeros contra la nación americana. Ellos exigen que cumplamos con sus deseos.... e implícitamente amenazan con violencia si sus demandas no son cumplidas", afirma uno de sus voceros, Mark Krikorian.
Por cierto, este programa fue destrozado por el crítico de medios del periódico Los Angeles Times, el brillante Tim Rutten, quien definió muy bien a [Lou Dobbs] como un tipo que "jamás hace reportajes series, ni investigación, sólo infame retórica antiinmigrante".
Lo que más me gustó fue esto que dijo recientemente: "No debemos dividir a los estadounidenses, enfrentar vecino contra vecino. Los inmigrantes no amenazan a este país, porque este país fue construido por inmigrantes".

Lots of people who will be voting on the controversial Bipartisan Immigration Reform Bill now working its way through the Senate probably will never even read it. But Mark Krikorian has studied it carefully -- and doesn't like it a bit.
Krikorian is executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS.org), a Washington, D.C., think tank that describes itself as a nonpartisan "pro-immigrant, low-immigration" research center "that seeks fewer immigrants but a warmer welcome for those admitted." I talked to him by telephone on Thursday from his office in Washington:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to launch an outreach campaign this fall to encourage employers to sign up for its Basic Pilot verification system. In the system, companies submit citizenship and work authorization information, which is checked against Social Security and DHS databases. Some legislative language calls for Basic Pilot to expand to all employers within 18 months of a new immigration law. Citizenship and Immigration Services executive director Mark Krikorian recommended that the DHS tap large employers for Basic Pilot. The verification division of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services is working on developing relationships with companies and making verification as efficient as possible.

To date, the national debate on mass immigration has been largely ad hoc. Now comes a book that raises the discussion to a higher level by weaving the many separate threads of the issue into a cohesive whole.
The just-published book, "The New Case Against Immigration: Both Legal and Illegal," is by Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. By constructing an historical framework that enlarges our perspective and embraces the divergent facets of the immigration problem, Mr. Krikorian has brought badly needed clarity to a difficult subject.

What kind of Republican is Karl Rove? Is he the by-the-bootstraps, sweat-of-the-brow, honor-in-all-work kind? Or is he the genuine kind? Judging from a posting on National Review's Web site "The Corner," he's the latter. Blogger Mark Krikorian shocked conservative readers by passing on the porcine strategist's bon mots justifying President Bush's proposed amnesty/guest-worker program. According to a congressman's wife, Rove quipped, "I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas." Genuine sentiment, no doubt, from a man who ought to be making license plates.
