Due to the serious ecology and poverty problems, Guizhou started the "ecological immigrant project for poverty alleviation" in 2012. The project willcause up to millions of population migration, among them, the minorities accounted for about half of the total number of immigrant. Migration brings more than just living space of displacement, it can also affect the intricate network of social relations in the context of people lived for generations. Although academic research on immigration from policy to accommodate, social networks of immigrants as a part of the social adaptation is also considered by many scholars, but mostly from the perspective of interpersonal adaptation, the depth is not enough. Therefore, this article from the perspective of social network, to researched the changes of the ecological migration network relations to ethnic minorities.This article selected the H settlements in Guizhou province Tongren city’s minority immigrants as investigation object, through the size of social network, the strength and the differences of social network’s member to compared the social network status before and after the ecological migrants the immigrants’ social network in the before and after the migrant. It found that migration does not lead to ecological migrants shrinking social network size, but to make it expanded. At the same time, the differences between network members, such as professional and level of education differences are more big than before the immigration. In other words, the migration make immigration has a bigger and more complementary social relation network.But compared with the former one, this network can not play a better role, because the strength of migration networks decreased with the migration activity.On the one hand, although the original network members continued to provide immigrant significant support such as emotional, economic, but their contact has become gradually weakened, if things go on like this, it will make their feeling tend to light; on the other hand, immigrants and other residents of resettlement has already started interpersonal communication, but still not enough trust between them. At the same time, as an important part of immigrant groups, the elderly are difficult to rebuild their social network through the normal social interaction for language barriers.In order to build a better social network for immigrants, the author suggested from two aspects: on the one hand, it should to maintain the original network. The original members of immigrant social networks are mostly relatives and geopolitical relations, their effect on the spiritual and economic life of immigrants are other types of relationships can not be compared; on the other hand, to increased trust in immigration settlement and other groups through more social interaction, to build a new geography, occupation relationship, and even interest relations, to provide protection for immigrants in the successful resettlement start a new life.
