When it comes to our immigration mess, no one has a deeper understanding of the facts than Mark Krikorian. Pay attention: America's future is at stake.” -- Michelle Malkin Mark Krikorian steps back from today’s debates and examines the big picture, questioning the place of immigration in a modern society. Agree or disagree with his proposals, this is an important book— not just for conservatives, but for all Americans.” -- William J. Bennett, host of Bill Bennett’s Morning in America Superbly researched and brilliantly argued, The New Case Against Immigrationshould settle the debate once and for all. Civilized, compassionate, and wise, this short book may save a great nation.” -- David Frum, resident fellow, American Enterprise Institute Mark Krikorian has waged an often lonely war to restore some sanity to immigration policy. His latest book will be caricatured by many as insensitive—especially his calls to select legal immigrants carefully only on the basis of skills and merit. Yet The New Case Against Immigrationis a classically liberal call for assimilation and integration in the best past traditions of a multiracial America. The onus is on his critics to show where his economic, cultural, and social arguments are flawed or inexact—and that will be difficult indeed, given such a carefully researched and argued book.” -- Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; author of Mexifornia This is a radical book, clearly and forcefully written, with the potential to change the immigration debate forevermore. No matter where you stand on immigration policy, you better be ready to confront The New Case Against Immigration.” -- Heather MacDonald, John M. Olin Fellow, Manhattan Institute; coauthor of The Immigration Solution Mark Krikorian concisely marshals the arguments on one side of the immigration debate. I am sure that many will disagree with his inferences and conclusions—but I am also sure that anyone wishing to seriously argue the other side will have to address the many questions and doubts presented here. In short, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the most volatile social policy issue of the new century.” -- George Borgas, Robert W. Scrivner Professor of Economics and Social Policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University Mark Krikorian has been the go-to guy for those of us skeptical of the Bush-McCain approach to immigration. He combines deep knowledge, political savvy, calm and compassion with something that’s rare in this field: common sense. In this ambitious book he takes the immigration debate a step further, placing it in an overarching framework that will be as controversial as it is powerful. If you want to find all the best anti-amnesty arguments in one place, The New Case Against Immigrationis the place to look. It is to the immigration debate what Losing Groundwas to the poverty debate. My copy is already dog-eared.” -- Mickey Kraus, author of The End of Equality, When it comes to our immigration mess, no one has a deeper understanding of the facts than Mark Krikorian.

Synopsis
New research reveals why America can no longer afford mass immigration Mark Krikorian has studied the trends and concluded that America must permanently reduce immigration-- both legal and illegal--or face enormous problems in the near future. His argument is based on facts, not fear. Wherever they come from, today's immigrants are actually very similar to those who arrived a century ago. But they are coming to a very different America--one where changes in the economy, society, and government create different incentives for newcomers. Before the upheavals of the 1960s, the U.S. expected its immigrants--from Italy to India--to earn a living, learn English, and become patriotic Americans. But the rise of identity politics, political correctness, and Great Society programs means we no longer make these demands. In short, the problem isn't them, it's us. Even positive developments such as technological progress hinder the assimilation of immigrants. It's easy now for newcomers to live "transnational" lives. Immigration will be in the headlines through Election Day and beyond, and this controversial book will help drive the debate.
