Washington, D.C. (September 2, 2021) – Every year the United States welcomes more than one million legal immigrants; two-thirds of this population are family members brought in through chain migration. With an average immigrant sponsoring 3.45 family members, the U.S. immigration flow is always impacted by chain migration. The thousands of Afghans being resettled in the U.S. will be able to eventually petition for more relatives, just as all illegal immigrants granted amnesty would be able to bring in family members.

On this week’s episode of Parsing Immigration Policy ([link removed]) , Jessica Vaughan, the Center's director of policy studies, joins host Mark Krikorian to discuss chain migration, its impact, and possible policy changes. Should immigrants be entitled to bring in their adult siblings and their families? Adult children and their families? Parents? The larger question is whether we should continue to allow yesterday’s immigrants to select tomorrow’s immigrants.

In the closing commentary, Krikorian, the Center’s executive director, highlights the risks associated with the present vetting of Afghans. He argues that vetting is essentially impossible due to a lack of information on the ground and that regardless of what is discovered through vetting, all Afghans brought out from the country will be coming to the U.S. and eventually qualify for citizenship.
