The Center for Immigration Studies is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization based in Washington, DC, founded in 1985. It examines the social, economic, environmental, security, and fiscal effects of both legal and illegal immigration in the United States. Its work is intended to inform immigration policymakers, the academic community, news media, and concerned citizens, and its governance includes a diverse board of directors that has included university professors, civil rights leaders, and former government officials.

Long-running data collection informs analyses that suggest high levels of immigration can complicate objectives such as strong public schools, environmental improvements, homeland security, and living wages for workers. The organization articulates a vision of lower immigration levels paired with a welcoming approach for those admitted, situating its research within the broader public policy landscape.
