Chain Migration

Vox has a great piece on “chain migration,” which President Trump has been railing against of late. It not only summarizes the president’s arguments against chain migration, it tackles the issue from an academic and historical perspective. Dara Lind, the author of the Vox piece, cites Doug Massey’s work on family migration, how Massey’s work has been co-opted by anti-migration forces, and then goes on to debunk some of the more outrageous claims regarding chain migration.
