Immigration is the entry to a country of people who were born or come from elsewhere. Represents one of the two options or alternatives for the term ‘migration’, which applies to the movements of people from one place to another, and these movements involve a change of residence or temporary or permanent. People migrate for many different reasons. These reasons may be economic, social, political or related to the environment.
When people migrate to other country, it is mainly attributed to the seeking of a better quality of life, including well payed jobs, the developing of their professional orientation, to escape from a political, religious or ethnic persecution or conflict.
However, migration implies several consequences for the receiving countries. For example, migrants are often in places where there is not enough local people with the skills to make the work available. The gaps that occupy migrants are concentrated in jobs highly qualified, such as doctors or crafts, such as construction workers. This helps to support the economy. Also, the integration of migrant culture zone or country can lead to a cultural diversity in areas such as food and music.
There are several negative consequences or disadvantages too, some of them can be that often, the migrants experience racial discrimination and abuse that divides communities and increases the crime. Countries receiving migrants often have to respond to the sudden arrival of a large number of illegal migrants, many of whom have risked their lives to travel in trucks and boats.
