Abstract
Chapter 8 examines family-based immigration, which makes up a large share of the regular admissions for permanent residence in many democratic countries. F`amily-based immigration schemes have come under criticism for crowding out other kinds of migration such as high-skilled immigration. The chapter explores some important normative questions about family-based immigration. Why should states privilege family relationships in designing immigration policy? Which relationships have counted as family, and which relationships should count? The chapter defends family-based immigration and argues for moving beyond the traditional model of the family to include more pluralistic conceptions of family, including nonfamilial relationships of care.
