Chain Migration refers to the endless and often-snowballing chains of foreign nationals who are allowed to immigrate because the law allows citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring in their extended, non-nuclear family members.Chain migration is the primary mechanism that has caused legal immigration in this country to quadruple from about 250,000 per year in the 1950s and 1960s to more than one million a year since 1990. As such, it is one of the chief culprits in America's current record-breaking population boom and all the attendant sprawl, congestion, school overcrowding, and other impacts that reduce American's quality of life.
Rep. John Mica (R-FL) has cosponsored H.R. 938, which would end our No. 1 legal immigration problem and the No. 3 cause of illegal immigration: Chain Migration.If enacted, H.R. 938 (The Nuclear Family Priority Act), would implement one of the key recommendations of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, which urged a reduction in immigration numbers that are now so high as to harm the most vulnerable American workers and their families. Under chain migration, distant relatives well outside an immigrant’s basic family unit take priority over husbands, wives, parents and minor children. This ill-conceived system also creates incentives for illegal immigration because adult relatives of legal residents are known to overstay their visas (thus becoming illegal aliens) in hopes of becoming legal immigrants. Moreover, since hundreds of millions of people in the world already have a relative in the U.S., the migration chain can eventually reach them all.
Thank Rep. John Mica
