Data: Every 2 New Immigrants to the U.S. Bring 7 Foreign Relatives with Them

Breitbart: Every two new immigrants to the United States bring roughly seven foreign relatives with them, creating an enormous, never-ending flow of family-based immigration.

Previously unreleased data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals the number of foreign relatives who enter the U.S. simply because their family member is an immigrant, in a process known as “chain migration.”

According to the data, chain migration is the largest driver of legal immigration, with every two new immigrants bringing seven foreign relatives with them to the U.S., making up more than 70 percent of the current immigration system.

Between 2005 and 2016, roughly 9.3 million foreign nationals have come to the U.S. as chain migrants for no other purpose than to reunite with extended family members. In that same time period, a total of 13.06 million foreign nationals have entered the U.S. through the legal immigration system.

  1. This isn’t a threat, it’s the nature of humans.

    When votes, words, and debate ceases to be effective, people reach for BULLETS.

    People have pretty much given up, (like Europe) that their government is honest, or does their will. In fact, it’s clear the government is their active opponent.

    How soon?

    But are happy, Happy, JOY JOY to be handed a cookie, instead. And if you tell them that somebody else will pay for the cookie, they’ll happily wallow over in the crumbs. And go back to sleep. So they can get up for work on time. And pay “their” “bills”.
