"Chain Migration" is a term used to describe the process of immigrants gaining residency through a relative who is established in the country or with a visa. This term was popularized through such claims that many are arriving in America in huge numbers and are less beneficial to society in comparison to those who come with a Professional or marriage visa.
The actual definition was that "Chain migration was used to describe immigrants from a particular town or region following a trail laid down by others from the same region. It dates back to the first great wave of immigration – Germans, Irish, Italian and Chinese migration to the United States to ethnic enclaves in places such as New York. The first wave of migrants sets up restaurants and lodging, sets up linkages to employment and otherwise helps subsequent arrivals adapt to life in their new home" (Prashad).

What is a Sanctuary City?
A sanctuary city is a city in which they limit their cooperation with the federal immigration agency to protect immigrants from deportation. When an undocumented immigrant comes into contact with the police, identification is needed which can get immigrants caught and reported to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
Typically what happens in a sanctuary city, the police will release the undocumented immigrant when the charges are cleared, posted bail, or completed the jail time for being arrested if No Crime Was Committed. If the the city is a not sanctuary, the immigrant would be held until ICE arrives.
A misconception that most people have is that being undocumented is crime, IT IS NOT. Being undocumented is a civil violation. Due to the due process of law clause of the 14th amendment, it prohibits the government from depriving a person of their right to life, liberty, and property. This right ensures that people's rights are not violated. The police cannot detain someone for being undocumented, only ICE.
