title: Dual chain migration:  post-1965 Filipino immigration to the United States.
abstract: In analyzing Filipino migration to the United States since 1965, the authors identify two distinct chains of immigrants.  One derives from the Filipinos who entered the country prior to 1965; the other comes from the flow of highly trained professionals who immigrated during the late 1960s and early 1970s.  "To establish the historical basis for the two patterns of immigration that unfolded in the post-1965 period, the article begins with a brief examination of Filipino immigration to the United States.  An analysis of the modes of entry used in both chains follows this overview.  The study concludes with a discussion of the degree of convergence in these two chains and the consequences of each for contemporary Filipino-American community development."  Data are from published U.S. census material and from Immigration and Naturalization Service reports and tapes dating from 1972 to 1985.
