Peter Brimelow (born 13 October 1947) is a British-born American magazine editor, writer, columnist, and former journalist. From 1978-80, he was an aide to Senator Orrin Hatch. In 1980, Brimelow moved to New York, working for Barron's Magazine and Fortune. He was the senior editor of Forbes magazine from 1986 to 2002. He is the founder of the webzine VDARE, which has been described as a white supremacist web-site, a description rejected by Brimelow. Brimelow was previously a writer and editor at the National Review, and columnist for Dow Jones' MarketWatch. Brimelow founded the Center for American Unity in 1999 and served as its first president. He describes himself as a paleoconservative. Brimelow has also been described as a leader within the alt-right movement. The author focuses debate on immigration policy, and contends that the United States cannot assimilate the current wave of immigration, and that multiculturalism is a danger to the United States. Derived from a Kirkus review: A potent attack on immigration. He's not against immigration in principle, but in practice; analyzing demographic data, he suggests that the post-1965 Great Wave of immigration is having a much greater impact than First Great Wave of the early 20th century because the Anglo-American birthrate is so much lower now. His suggestion that immigrants actually cost more than they help the economy is persuasive, and he notes tellingly that the growth of the Hispanic population, given current affirmative-action policies, will especially impact black Americans. It's undeniable that the Immigration Act of 1965, which allowed ``family reunification,'' encouraged the immigration of numerous unskilled workers and has led to unforeseen effects- -including ethnically based organized crime and a decline in public health. His recommendations: The US should retake its porous borders, favor skilled immigrants over family reunification, deny all payments to illegal immigrants, and perhaps even impose a moratorium on immigration.
