VDARE is an American far-right[1] website promoting opposition to immigration to the United States.[6] It is associated with white supremacy,[7][8][9] white nationalism,[17] and the alt-right.[18][19][20] Anti-Immigration in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia describes VDARE as "one of the most prolific anti-immigration media outlets in the United States" and states that it is "broadly concerned with race issues in the United States".[21] Established in 1999, the website's editor is Peter Brimelow, who once stated that "whites built American culture" and that "it is at risk from non-whites who would seek to change it".[21]

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes VDARE as "an anti-immigration hate website" that "regularly publishes articles by prominent white nationalists, race scientists, and anti-Semites", including Steve Sailer, Jared Taylor, J. Philippe Rushton, Samuel T. Francis, John Derbyshire[6] and Pat Buchanan.[22] Brimelow acknowledges that VDARE published writings by white nationalists but has said that VDARE is not a "white nationalist Web site".[23][24]

In July 2024, it was announced that VDARE would be suspending operations after 25 years of operation. Peter Brimelow also stepped down as president of the VDARE Foundation.[25]
