Chain migration refers to the process where immigrants can enter the United States simply because they are non-nuclear relatives of other immigrants who previously entered the U.S.[1]
Most immigration to the U.S. is through chain migration. According to the Department of Homeland Security, 9.3 million foreigners immigrated to the U.S. through chain migration between 2005 and 2016 — 70% of the total number of immigrants during that period.[2][3] Over 117,000 of those foreigners came from countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. State Department – Iran, Syria, and Sudan.[4]
