Chain migration is a term with several meanings that is often misused and misunderstood. It could refer to the tendency of immigrants to follow those of similar ethnic and cultural heritage to communities established in their new homeland. For example, it's not unusual to find Chinese immigrants settling in Northern California or Mexican immigrants settling in South Texas because their ethnic conclaves have been well-established there for decades.
It could also be defined as the process of movement from immigrants’ homelands that builds upon networks of familiar social relationships to construct neighborhood or communities within in the new places of habitation that reflect the cultural norms and societal expectations of the homelands.
