About INIR

International Network for Immigration Research is a collaboration of research centers which examine both the benefits and challenges of immigration. INIR members are independent but share the bedrock principle that sovereign nations have the right to pursue and enforce their chosen immigration policies, based on the preferences of their own societies rather than an ideologically driven humanitarian agenda. INIR publishes the semi-annual journal Limen, as well as occasional papers by members.
