“There’s no such thing as replacement theory; it’s a replacement fact”—Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian
16th August 2025
Mark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), one of the leading institutions in the United States to analyze and formulate immigration policy. For decades, he has studied the impact of immigration on social cohesion, the economy, and national security, both in the U.S. and Europe. His analysis starts from a premise uncomfortable for many governments: mass immigration is not an inevitable phenomenon but the direct result of political decisions.
For Krikorian, the problem is not only the scale of immigration but also the systematic refusal of ruling classes to accept that legitimate limits exist.
In this interview conducted during the MCC Feszt in Esztergom, Hungary, the analyst offers an unflinching look at the mistakes of the United States and Europe, warns about demographic replacement, and points out that the political battle of our time is not so much between left and right, but between those whose primary loyalty is to their nation and those who have adopted a post-national vision.
