National Review has misleadingly developed a reputation as the home base for reasonable conservative thought, largely due to the publication’s founder, the late racist William F. Buckley’s opposition to conspiracy-spouting groups like the John Birch Society. However, the outlet has regularly published Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian for nearly 15 years. Krikorian’s missives for the magazine and its online companion are rife with incendiary and bigoted sentiment. Among other things, Krikorian has derided the “weakness and backwardness” of Mexicans, cited known white nationalist thinkers like the late Samuel Huntington, called for Israeli-style border militarization, and accused pro-immigrant faith leaders of “prostituting scripture.” National Review’s editorial board and contributors have also been ardent proponents of Jeff Sessions’ so-called “humble and honest populism,” a euphemism for destructive and draconian anti-immigrant enforcement measures that baselessly scapegoat immigrants for income inequality.
