Shaheen’s argument that the study was from “right-wing” hacks isn’t true, the CIS’s executive director Mark Krikorian told Breitbart News. He noted that the immigration debate doesn’t have a “left” or “right,” and that it’s more of an elites versus everybody else kind of debate. His organization also has liberals and Democrats on its board doing research, so it’s hardly a “right-wing” group as Shaheen claims.
“In immigration, to borrow from Reagan, there is no such thing as a left or right,” Krikorian said when asked to respond to Shaheen’s claims. “There's only an up or down. Immigration pits both elite Republicans and Democrats against ordinary working Americans of all stripes. And the Center for Immigration Studies reflects that fact, with a mix of conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats on its board and staff.”
“And what’s a ‘right-wing study,’ anyway?” Krikorian added. “The numbers, from the Census Bureau, are either correct or they’re not. No one has suggested that our researchers made any errors, so what’s the senator complaining about?”
