"I mean, is adultery no longer a big deal in Indiana and in America? I’d just love to know your thoughts because I for one believe that the seventh commandment² contained in the Ten Commandments is still a big deal, I maintain that other than promises that we make of fidelity in our faith, the promises that we make to our spouses and to our children, the promises that we make in churches and in synagogues and marriage ceremonies around this, it's the most important promise you'll ever make.

¹ Chained Migration is not a legal term or immigration policy, as it is the social process by which migrants from a particular town follow others from that town to a particular destination. The destination may be in another country or in a new location within the same country. For example:
To avoid conscription, in 1885 a 16-year old boy named Freidrich Trump immigrated to the U.S. from Germany and subsequently became a U.S. citizen. In 1901, he returned to Germany and found a bride, Elizabeth Christ, who immigrated to the U.S. with him and in 1905 gave birth to son Fred.
In 1930 an unskilled 18-year old May Anne McLoed immigrated from Scotlant to the U.S. to live with her married sister in Queens. Six years later she met Fred Trump at a party, they married and in 1946 gave birth to son Donald.
"CHAIN MIGRATION cannot be allowed to be part of any legislation on Immigration!" - Trump, Sep 15, 2017 (via twitter)
