Immigration
When a government forces a
large group of people out of a region, usually based on
ethnicity or religion; also known as an involuntary or
forced migration.

Individuals are not forced out of
their country, but leave because of unfavorable situations
such as warfare, political problems, or religious
persecution.
Impelled Migration
A series of migrations within a family or
defined group of people; which often begins with one family
member who sends money to bring other family members to the
new location. Chain migration results in migration fields—the
clustering of people from a specific region into certain
neighborhoods or small towns.
Chain Migration
The voluntary movements of immigrants
back to their place of origin; also known as circular migration.
Return Migration
