Migration. The fourth and final pillar protects the Nuclear Family to end chain migration b17 under the system to do unlimited new new numbers of distant relatives we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children. [applause] this vital reform is necessary for our security and the future of america. In recent recent weeks to terrorist attacks were made possible by the visa lottery and chain migration. In the age of terrorism they present risks that we can just no longer afford. [applause] that with these outdated immigration books bringing the system into the 21st century. Host this term chain migration what does it mean and where did it come from . It refers to residents of the United States are citizens to sponsor a familyit member coming to the United States lawfully on a green card to work permanently but the term chain migration goes back over 70 years used by social scientists to study the phenomenon that goes back throughout our history often times when we had open borders in the 19th century to set up shop and send for the family to come and then other relatives to come to the United States in fact the first person to go through ellis island was a young minor child. But legally Family Sponsorship or reunification wasnt part of that until 1921 with very high quotas outside of northwestern europe but the immediate relatives so since then to expand greatly that is a major portion. Had this work to the way it was intended . Not at all. The Current System right now basically to be portions of chain migration or Family Sponsorship. One is the visa relative the spouse and parent that accounts for 48 of all immigrants in the United States in 2016. Another portion called the family sponsored preferences for an additional 20 but when Family Sponsorship and expanded it wanted to keep American Immigration coming from europe and in that. They were from europe so the idea was to create chain migration only they could come but backed rapidly for a way for asian and african grants to come in substantial numbers from places other than europe. A couple of input on the term chain migration. Senator chris murphy said chainti migration is a madeup term to dehumanize immigrants you are declaring a side. And to keep using the term chain migration if we dont use it and allow the euphemism of family reunification to take root we would be doing a grave disservice and also to my favorite members of the right. But first a little terminology from each eyes. Both sides are wrong it was used by social scientists since the 40s it has not made up by any anti immigration people are politicians. The National Review writer is incorrect family sponsored preferences is the name of the system that he is criticizing in the immediate relative category is another portion of the family sponsored immigration. So to be realistic and accurate family sponsored is totally fine and appropriate also chain migration is appropriate. So specifically what you see the president putting out there . Now we have the bullet points so if you take a look with the green card of u. S. Citizens that is 170,000 per beyear then a phaseout of the rest of the family sponsored Green Card Program like young married sons and daughters of u. S. Citizens who are older or opposite of mine all children and the children daughters and ilbrothers and sisters, a lot of them are eliminated from the program. So the backlog would be cleared with these categories with a very long backlog maybe it would take 20 or 25 years but after that nobody could come in under this. What about this idea in congress . Very negative. Democrats and very little among republicans as well. Good morning b14 good stmorning. I have to say i agree wholeheartedly. Terms like chain migration and daca are madeup words to candy coat the word that is Illegal Immigrants but the biggest problem our nationn has is a do believe the majority of people Daca Recipients to get them on a pathway to citizenship but it goes beyond that because the democrats if they reveal the real numbers you go for me hundrede g thousad almost 10 Million People. That is the biggest concern. Democrats are being less than genuineness so what is your tak take . Just to be clear what we are talking about family sponsored chain migration this is for legal immigrants coming lawfully they are not illegal. But to your point whether legalizing the dreamers could lead to an increase of chain migration, most proposals out there say they would not be allowed to sponsor their parents or other family members to come over but even if they were allowed a lot of research statistically shows each immigrant brings between three and three and a half immigrants through the family sponsored system to the United States. So to legalize a hundred thousand that means between 240,000 im sorry to. 4 Million People in addition to that. New mexico good morning. Caller thanks for taking my call. G i observed something 1964 they could not get workers so i am wondering what is the impact of that law those that left the workforce because of that situation . An excellent question a lot of Academic Research with laborforce participation rates. So when you pay people for not working there is agreement on that but there is a lot of evidence immigrants coming into the United States have jobs on the low and and the highend of the labor market to work at higher rates and in fact one of the reasons they dont have access. Good morning. I want your thought on the war on homework. Homework x what are you saying . But now a lot of colleges have declared a war of homework and they just will notre do it. So we are talking about the idea of chain migration are you connecting that in any way . No. Lets just move on. I thought he was going somewhere else. Oi he has another topic on mind. Good morning. Caller this is the biggest problem. Defining these immigrants as chain migrators i have a problem with that. They should be labeled the way they want to be. And to bring those Families Together like a long time ago these fake negroes. They dont like that. So you could hide behind but we know that term chain migration. Say what it is for what it is with family reunification. Both are entirely legitimateim Family Sponsorship, unification or migration. If you follow at the Cato Institute and then making it easier to reunite in the United States. With this focus that gets away from the core issue. The most common form of Legal Immigration to the United States in 216238 was a family sponsored 560,000 came of spouses and kids or parents between 60 and 70 over the past decade. Anything you want to tell us . The vast majority and the spouses and it is important american want to create immigration laws with racial origins and ethnicity feel respected with family reification and migration. Referring to unlimited numbers are there caps currently or rules armaments lung or limits . No. Making sure you are note a criminal or not a National Security threat but in terms of a family sponsored system there are numerical caps. Unmarried daughters and sons 21 years older so spouses and minor children of a lawful permanent resident for the unmarried sons and daughters with 26000 per year and also u. S. Citizens 23400 per year. And the results with the country caps very long wait time so that is a lot of people basically getting their green card now from countries like the philippines to be aligned over 20 years. Chain migration is an antiquated thoughts. If i needed his people to come together to build the economy and we do need to look as those trying to build the economy. When the immigrants come here and be hired then you have the American People who may not have the education or Technical Skills and by Illegal Immigrants nobody has been held accountable and they should hold those employees or the employers accountable as far as hiring the people the way they do. It was a good thought but it went south. And look at the american first. Connect those chain migrants, employers employers that come legally with a green card. And employers are legally allowed to hire with that fast body of research with wages and employment that there is almost no job placement discovered the most negative finding that is from Harvard University 1990 through 2010 study that it lowered the schoolf american high dropouts by 1. 7 relative to percent relative to other workers but every other category saw a wage increase. That is 90 of americans due to immigration. River channel. Good morning. Can you tell me how many immigrants we have in this country that are illegal . And the ones that are legal . Yes. The estimates are there are about 11 or 12 Illegal Immigrants currently and about 31 legal immigrants in the United States b14 i thank you very much. I think that number is off of the grid. Because here in wyoming, it is unreal how many illegals we have. I dont know how many vets if you look around they are all working. I would say they are a very workable bunch of people and a lot of them are wonderful people. A lot of them just come for them. System and i do appreciate your time. Thank you cspan. I should have asked how does screening work for people coming in with the Chain Migration Program . It depends where they are coming from more the case. It usually takes a couple of years but United States government has agreements around the world also it has access to a numerous database for National Security threats and at last check about 80000 known suspected terrorist in that system and if the government suspects they are not up to par they have that discretion. Here is what you see with their version of numbers so as a result of chain migration every hour u. S. Resettled enough to fill a small auditorium, every day a large high school, every week college best ballerina, everyone football stadium to capacity come every year resettled the immigrant population larger than the size of washington d. C. Ps. If you count chain migration somewhere around 800,000 coming into the family reunification category. But historically as a percentage of the u. S. Population looking at all green cards that is about one third of 1 of u. S. Population each year you see in immigrant flows of the same number but a smaller population. Go ahead. Caller so a question senator cornyn and tender purdue i am wondering if they could the days just to shore up the sword third southern border to keep the illegals out. And to make the case for ilLegal Immigration at the same time because i have not pro immigration but but creating that for the wrong reason i would also like to hear that i guest response. But senator perdue led the charge with cutting Legal Immigration. So for the growth of the country Going Forward i cannot comment on the intentions of people who want to do board and the chain migration portion is highly separate from the border wall. Good morning. If they have children born in this country themselves, what is the citizenship of the mother . And the status of the baby . But when dave bring them over and they themselves have children . A correct. They but that does not change the immigration status of the parent. Those that cannot adjust their status except so that notion to have a child can lead to a greenil card. Memphis tennessee were on the line. Caller so people speak the rhetoric in order for to set up college, how likely that we deport people en masse from the stadium . Is that something we should do as americans just round them up to put them into a facility or a ar camp type of situation than to report them without legal papers . Absolutely not. U. S. Immigration enforcement should focus 100 on people who are actual criminals who have violent offenses and with serious Communicable Disease zero enforcement should be devoted to people that is basically breaking immigration law. And to be very expensive to destroyof Civil Liberties to do something but that biggest deportation rates were in the first term of the obamawe administration to increase substantially it is nearly impossible for this administration to reach the firstterm numbers of deportation. Thank you for your time and the information. Thank you it comes to the same route as democracy is a book about the study of power this is the study of Donald Trumps power how does he get away with it . And and then to enable them with the republican donor elite that him and that core group of the voters that enabled him to win the republican nomination
