Anti-immigration web resources

US-focused anti-immigration groups and websites

  • VDARE (page about them on Open Borders, official website), a US-focused immigration restrictionist group that prides itself on being “politically incorrect” and “outside the Beltway” and is mostly focused on building the intellectual, philosophical, and popular case against immigration. It features a diverse array of contributors, including widely respected white nationalist Jared Taylor (editor of American Renaissance) and widely respected human biodiversity champion Steve Sailer (prolific blogger at isteve.blogspot.com). Its founder and chief editor, Peter Brimelow, was previously an editor at Forbes Magazine and also worked at National Review. The site generally slants “paleoconservative” but is generally open to all comers who are willing to argue against immigration to the United States from any perspective. Among restrictionist groups, VDARE is rare for making many anti-immigration arguments, such as IQ deficit based on ethnic IQ differences.
  • Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) (page about them on Open Borders, official website), a US-focused group that bills itself as “low-immigration, pro-immigrant.” Two of its most famous employees are Mark Krikorian and Steven Camarota. Unlike VDARE, CIS is actively engaged in Beltway politics, including trying to influence the shape and form of specific immigration reform proposals at the margin. CIS has more of an “academic” reputation given its focus on number crunching and turning out studies, and is less focused on grassroots activism.
  • Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) (page about them on Open Borders, official website), a US-focused group that focuses on immigration restriction. FAIR produces studies and commentary on the news, but is also involved more directly with grassroots activism.
  • NumbersUSA (page about them on Open Borders, official website), a US-focused group that advocates immigration restriction. NumbersUSA has a page urging people not to bash (legal) immigrants and not to let immigration restrictionism shade into ethnic hatred and anti-immigrant sentiment. NumbersUSA is also focused on grassroots activism.
  • Immigration Reform Law Institute (webpage) describes itself as “America’s only public interest law organization working exclusively to protect the legal rights, privileges, and property of U.S. citizens and their communities from injuries and damages caused by unlawful immigration.”
  • Americans for Immigration Control (webpage)
  • Progressives for Immigration Reform (webpage)
  • Minuteman Project: A Multi-ethnic Immigration Law Enforcement Advocacy Group (webpage)
