Better cite some statistics about that immigration or delete this article altogether!!!--Cuvtixo 04:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
It seems like this term has other uses than for immigration: Demographers have a name for it: chain migration. “People who live near each other share information about where to retire, where to vacation,” said Lance deHaven-Smith, a professor of public administration at Florida State University in Tallahassee. “They tell their friends and neighbors, and then they end up in the same place.”[1][2] Terjen (talk) 07:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Chain migration: A migration process which depends on a small number of pioneers, who make the first moves to set up a new home in a new place. They send information back home, and this encourages further migration from the originating area. A British example comes from young men from the Indian subcontinent, who, after finding work and a place to stay in the UK, would send for other members of their families over the years.

Some advocacy groups, like AILA, see it in this way. I think the point should be noted in the body of the article. Tedperl (talk) 20:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
In 2018 in the United States it is definitely used in a way that assumes it's a problem Elinruby (talk) 11:29, 28 January 2018 (UTC) Elinruby (talk) 11:29, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
This article is almost entirely about the US. I suggest the existing sections should be renamed to relate specifically to the US, and other countries added; or else the whole article be renamed so as to be specific to the US. Ben Finn (talk) 09:38, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
I agree Elinruby (talk) 11:30, 28 January 2018 (UTC) Elinruby (talk) 11:30, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Chain migration. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add ((cbignore))
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add ((nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot))
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ((Sourcecheck))
).

It read likes a conservative think tank's PR piece. Miserlou (talk) 08:23, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
There are multiple issues with this paragraph.
Could I ask that instead of wholesale reversion of my collection of edits you point out any specific deficiencies that you see? Thanks in advance - Hoplon (talk) 02:39, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
<ref>
tag has too many names (see the help page). Use the cite tool. (With page numbers - how is someone supposed to find the reference in a hundreds of pages long book?)Stuff like this will get your contributions reverted by other editors. NPalgan2 (talk) 16:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Avoid the term "chain migration": “A term applied by immigration hardliners to what the U.S. government calls family-based immigration, a longstanding program granting preference to people with relatives who already have legal residency or U.S. citizenship. Avoid the term except when used in a quotation, and explain it.”[7] Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:22, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
