Contents: The Center for Immigration Studies describes itself as a non-partisan, independent organization whose mission is to impartially examine issues pertaining to current immigration policy in the United States. However, much of its content takes a distinctly anti-immigration stance. The site chiefly contains news articles, brief topical background reports with a selection of links to related articles, congressional testimony, and similar materials. Among the many issues discussed are guest workers, shifts in the political power of Hispanics, employment in agriculture and high technology, the consequences of temporary visas, and the effect of immigrant labor on employment rates and levels of black Americans. One unique feature is a searchable database, derived from INS files, of employers who have been sanctioned for violating immigration law. Online visitors can also submit questions on immigration. An important internet resource for people working in immigration law or policy.
