Migration is the movement of people or animals from one location to another. Immigration is the entry into countries, especially developed countries, of people from other countries and cultures. Today immigration is a phenomenon that has grown and expanded around the world. When we listen and observe this phenomenon we ask, what are the reasons that lead people to leave their country of origin? What are the consequences for this phenomenon?
Many people choose to risk their lives crossing rivers, deserts, seas and borders. Many people decide to go away from their families, friends and their own culture. But what reasons led him to risk his life and taking these risks? The causes are many, but basically it comes down to one which is to improve their living conditions. The current situation of certain countries have forced many people to seek countries for increase their ability to grow, although the price is often very high.
Today many countries have economic and social conditions very difficult. Especially in poor countries or poor development countries, where grow opportunities are only for a few. For example, situations such as unemployment, violence, high levels of hunger and poverty are causes of migration processes of people. On the other hand, developed countries, that provide greater employment opportunities, have better law enforcement have higher levels of immigration. All these factors encourage people to go to other countries, even when they can`t have a quiet life by the fear of being deported.
According to the UN, countries with higher levels of immigrants are the developed countries. According to recent data, these countries are the United States, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany and Australia. The highest authorities of these countries have said that such high levels of immigration are harmful to the country. His reasons are that immigrants raise unemployment levels recipient countries and many immigrants do not respect the culture of the country and seek to live in their own way. But the biggest reason why immigration is considered a problem is because many immigrants come to do criminal acts, and with this increased violence, crime and public spending in these countries. For these reasons, countries have put more security on its borders and many politicians are campaigning against immigrants.
The causes and reasons of immigrants and host countries are understandable. But we must remember that these phenomena have been given because of the great process of globalization which we live. Process that developed countries have driven for their own grows. If all cherishing our culture and we lived happily with her always trying to improve society's thinking would be different. In short, we must remember that we are all human and we all live on the same planet. But above all we must stop hurting us, we should instead try to help us each other.
