Research Centers

Various research centers have contributed to the growing literature on the issue of immigration and the diversified opinion among policy makers and the public. Some of these centers and their activities are outlined below.

The Manhattan Institute
The Manhattan Institute (MI) is a New York-based think tank which has been engaged in supporting and publicizing research in key public policy concerns. In its 25-plus years of existence, the MI supports publication of books, publishes a widely circulated quarterly magazine--City Journal--and hosts luncheon forums, conferences, and debates that reach a broad, diverse audience including policy makers, business people, researchers and journalists.

The issue of immigration has been one of the areas of concern for the MI. For over a decade, more than 30 articles have been published in the City Journal on various dimensions of immigration. In 2007 alone, the MI hosted four events that related to immigration directly, alongside other crucial concerns of public policy such as health care, the environment, foreign policy and other aspects of race and ethnicity. This brings immigration as the most-discussed issue in that year. (See the below for details)

In the same year, a book by Steven Malanga, Heather Mac Donald, and Victor Davis Hanson titled "The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today's" was published.

Other research centers working on Immigration at the national level include:

FAIR / Federation of American Immigration Reform
Pew Hispanic Center
The American Immigration Law Foundation - Immigration Policy Center
The Center for Research on Immigration Policy
Immigration History Research Center
Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
