  • Essay / Global Issues: Immigration and Migration - 1345

    Immigration is the movement of people to a foreign country for various reasons. These reasons may be related to job search, education and lifestyle change or escaping unfavorable conditions in their home country. It's a question that concerns many American leaders. Due to the reasons that lead to immigration, it must be understood as a phenomenon that is supposed to exist permanently rather than as a temporary movement. Additionally, most immigrants tend to move to a new country with their family in hopes of changing their lives (Bailey, 2008). The immigration problem therefore covers multiple dimensions and has multiple facets. Besides simple movement from one country to another, whether seasonal or permanent, immigration issues cover the effects of permanent residence of immigrants. The result thus described refers to the direct impact of this movement on the economy and social life of immigrants and natives. The results could be linked to job uncertainty, as well as unemployment levels which have a direct link to crimes and lawlessness (Rubin & Melnick, 2006). Another immigration-related issue that attracts great interest is the aspect of illegal immigrants. These are people who enter the country through illegal means or who stay in a country much longer than their visa allows. These people live in the countryside with little or no income and contribute significantly to income inequality in the country, which is currently increasing. The importance of the subject and its consequences have led to intense politics on the issue. Since 1986, laws and bills have been passed with the aim of streamlining the problem and providing a once and for all solution from a global perspective. Princeton: Princeton University Press.
