context_page_description: Mark Krikorian has been the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a think-tank in Washington, D. C., since 1995. The Center describes itself as an "independent, non-partisan research organization" that examines and critiques the impact of immigration on the United States. Animated by a "pro-immigrant, low-immigration vision which seeks fewer immigrants, but a warmer welcome for those admitted", the Center was established in 1985 to provide immigration research. Krikorian is a regular contributor to the conservative publication National Review, and is a regular participant at National Review Online's "The Corner."
  Krikorian frequently testifies before Congress, and has been quoted in and writes articles in The Washington Post, The New York Times, Commentary, National Review, and elsewhere. He has appeared on 60 Minutes, Nightline, the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, CNN, National Public Radio and many other television and radio programs. In January 2013, ABC News listed Krikorian as one of the top 20 immigration experts to follow on Twitter in the United States.
