Does Current Immigration Policy
Doom American Jewry?
MARK KRIKORIAN: Good morning. My name is Mark Krikorian. I’m executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. We’re a think tank here in Washington that examines and critiques the various impacts of immigration on the United States. All our work, by the way, is online—including Dr. Steinlight’s paper, that I’ll describe briefly in a second—at our website, http://www.cis.org/. President Bush noted in April, his proclamation of Jewish Heritage week, that this year marks the 350th anniversary of the first permanent Jewish settlement in the United States in what is now New York. Since that time America and its Jewish population have grown and prospered together. In fact, it wouldn’t be too much to say that American Jews have been a kind of leading indicator of important social developments in our country.
