...and interaction of various cultures. It is therefore important to understand the trends in migration and the factors causing migration. Migration trends also need to be understood in terms of the characteristics of immigrating groups. In so doing the cause behind the migration of these groups becomes evident. This research tackles the factors causing immigration whilst paying special attention to the role played by government policy and state action. This is mainly because emigration and immigration have, over the years, become state affairs transcending the personal requirements of individuals. Countries have adopted strict laws, policies and protocols that guide the emigration and immigration processes. The paper established a deep correlation between these laws, policies and protocols and the migration patterns. This was after analysis of available migration statistics as well as government policy and state action. The latter was found to have a rooted influence on the former either directly or indirectly. In the direct influence, government policy presents a push or pull factor that necessitated migration. In the indirect influence, government policies affect other push or pull factors that in turn accept migration. Thesis Statement The current government policies, laws and protocols coupled with relevant state action impact the global emigration and immigration trends. In order to fully address the thesis statement, the research paper is organised into three sections...

...forced and they can be internal or international. Internal means going from your country to another within the same region and international means to from one country to another. There are various reasons why people migrate and migration has to do a lot with push and pull factors. Push factors are those which force a person to move. This can include drought, famine, lack of jobs, over population and civil war. Pull factors are those which encourage a person to move. These include a chance of a better job, better education and a better standard of living. In my article reviews I will reveal some of the reasons for migration. Since migration occurs all over the world I decided to go beyond the beautiful tranquil waters of The Bahamas into the regions of South Africa and China.

...explain about the causes of foreign workers in Malaysia. There are two main factors that cause the problem of excessive illegal immigrants in Malaysia which is the push factors, and pull factors. Push Factor Push factors are pressures encouraging emigration in countries of origin, which includes political, security and economic factors. 1. Firstly, I would like to talk about the political aspect. Authoritarian regimes in the source countries are the primary reason for the foreign workers to work in Malaysia. This usually happens when there are countries which implement policies which are against their opponents. This results in immigration of workers. 3. Secondly, the instability of security in the source country of both of the foreign workers causes them to try to get in the neighboring countries no matter legal or in an illegal way. They are indifferent and ignorance towards the specific immigration laws set by the destination country. 4. Lastly, the economic factor. Regional disparities caused immigration of workers. In this era of new technology, globalization is widening the gap between poor and rich countries. Besides, if a country faces economic collapse, it will also cause an inflow of foreign workers to the developed countries. Pull Factor Now, I will explain about the pull factor. Pull factors are those conditions that attract people to the destination country. 1. Geographical Factor The strategic location of Malaysia at the South-East Asia attract them...

... I will explore the question “What were the push and pull factors that caused more European colonists to settle in the northern colonies instead of the southern ones during the 17th century?” to find out why the population distribution was so unequal. The first source is the book The Atlantic Migration, written by Professor Marcus Lee Hansen in 1942. Hansen was the son of a Danish immigrant and a Norwegian immigrant and a professor of history at the University of Illinois. He conducted research on the history of American immigration for four years to write this Pulitzer-prize winning book. It is a secondary source, which allows Hansen to look at emigration and immigration factors from hindsight. The content of this book is valuable because it mentions the push factors in Europe, the pull factors in each colony, and why people would want to leave for...

...Three Individual Assignment I choose the article “Immigration: Asylum some member states have more work to do than other.” This article is about immigrants seeking asylum in other states in Europe and not getting the same results as Greece. In addition, Greece has received support financially more than the other states between 2007 and 2011. According to the courts in Europe, the human rights are not respected, as a result the Commission is monitoring human dignity. The treatments of the immigrants have been awful so as a result they have closed the worst camps. Incidents have shown that supervisors are let go due to their behaviors towards migrants. The Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party has also showed racism attacks towards the migrants. Migrants are still applying for asylum in Europe because of the Syria crisis. It shows that there have been 332,000 requests for asylum in Greece in 2012, which is higher than last year (European Social Policy, 2013). In the overview, it first started by simply informing its readers what the definition of immigrants actually is. According to the overview, immigrants are individuals who have left their country or area of origin to settle in another country or territory. It also told us what immigrant really was. When dealing with immigrants and immigration, there are two main categories for the reasons of their migration. The first category is known as “push factors.” Push factors are those reasons that cause immigrants to migrate...

...Immigration Immigration is the act of moving to reside in another country permanently. People who immigrate is called immigrant or can be considered as permanent resident. In the old days, people immigrate to another country due to many factors such as changing climate, inadequate supply of food and wars. The pace of migration had accelerated since the 18th century due to the involuntary slave trade and then followed by industrialization in the 19th century. But nowadays, there are varies of reason that motivate immigration. In this essay, I will write about the factors that motivate migration and challenges immigrants face in the new country. There are both pull and push factors that motivate migration. According to Lewis (1982),” environmental, economic, political and social problems can be categorized as push factors in migration.” Lack of employment opportunities is one of the main problems in immigration, such as in Indonesia. Indonesia ranks the 4 largest population in the world. With so many competitors to emulate with, it’s difficult to find job. The pays is not good and some are unable to support their family and is forced to be a labor in foreign countries. So, there are many people immigrate to another country hoped to get a job in there and start their new life. In Indonesia, safety is what people fear of. Criminality occurs everywhere, especially in big cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya. In 2011, there were reported 54,799 violent crimes, 64 murders, 68 rapes...

...four important factors that cause international migration flows: economic pressures; social networks and connections between migrant sending and receiving countries; immigration policies; and cultural perceptions people in developing countries have about immigration and immigrant receiving countries. Indicate which of these you believe is the most important and second most important factors and explain why. There are four important factors that cause international migration flow. The most important factor is the economic pressures and second most important is the cultural perceptions people in developing countries have about immigration and immigrant receiving countries. Both these factors are relatively related and linked together. The most important factor that influences migration flows is the economic pressures. People who pursue better wages and a higher standard of living economically motivate most labor migrations. This is generated by the push- pull theory that explains how migrants are pushed to leave the areas of origin because of demographic growth, low standards of living, and lack of economic opportunities (Castles and Miller 22). Migrants are then pulled to move to receiving countries because they are attracted to the demand they have for labor, availability of land, economic opportunities, and political freedoms (Castles and Miller 22). The push-pull factor is one of the main explanations as to why the economic pressures are the biggest factors that influences...

...one’s own culture. Ethnocentrism leads us to make false assumptions about cultural differences. We are ethnocentric when we use our cultural norms to make generalizations about other peoples' cultures and customs. These generalizations often made without a conscious awareness that we have used our culture as a ruler to measure another, which causes us to misjudge other people. It can lead to cultural misinterpretation and it often causes miscommunication. http://home.snu.edu/~hculbert/ethno.htm 3. Define emigration and immigration. ❖ As per text, emigration is leaving a country to settle in another. Immigration is coming into a new country as a permanent resident. Both are operate by push and pull factors. As described in the text, push factors discourage a person from remaining where he or she lives. Religious persecution and economic factos such as dissatisfaction with employment opportunities are possible push factors. Pull factors, such as better standard of living, friends and relatives who...

...do you think of when you read ‘Immigration’? My thought of the definition of immigration is that people of other countries wanting a better life for themselves and/or their family and they think they can find that certain life in the United States. All they have to do is fill out paper work and pay fees that they can later pay off because they will have jobs because they became a US citizen. Some immigrants do not quite understand that concept and that is where we get the problem of illegal immigration. It is great that they want better lives but when they do it illegally is where they literally cross the line. Illegal immigration comes with certain causes, problems, and solutions. It is not easy to determine that causes of illegal immigration but according to the article “Illegal Immigration”, there are two main factors that make immigrants have the desire to join the United States. The first major factor is the “push” factor, which involves the pressures encouraging emigration in countries of origin. There are also four sub-factors that give those immigrants the actual push. The first is the professional factor that deals with jobs, money, and certain opportunities that the United States offer that their home does not. Second is the political factor, which is their opinion on our government vs. their government. The security factor is the third, which involves just the comfort of having that security of health, home, life, etc. The last factor is about the economics; they just...

...Abstract: Globalization and movement for labor affect the United States all across the board. People find it hard to pull up and move to various locations around the world but for a better life for themselves and the family they often do so . Families do so for better wages to avoid crime, better education and sometimes are forced to. Immigrants take a chance for a better life by facing, crime, kidnapping and murdering order to get to various places in the United States. Texas border brings in more than half of the immigrants who illegally and legally come into the United States. Jon 13 34-35 gives us direction on how to treat others regardless if they are immigrants her illegally or legally . One status does not dictate this. “34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” People find it hard to pull up the roots that they have held tight to and move to a place they have never been. Although this is hard millions of non-American citizens have made the decision to move. The immigration that had the most impact took place around the eighteen hundreds, this was due to the Great Depression through the hard times in the 1930s. During this time over 60 million people immigrated too different parts of the world but more than half of those immigrants came to the United. States. Globalization and movement of labor...

...Egypt Is Not The Only Solution Throughout history, immigration has continued to take place in various countries and due to different socio-economic, identity as well as personal purposes. It is of great significance to identify that immigration greatly affects both the origin and host countries in terms of population, economical state as well as social development. While reaching the conclusion of whether immigration is the right choice for an Egyptian family, considering that moving to a Western country would have a large impact on all members, a number of factors are taken into consideration. When a family decides to leave its country, certain factors, usually negative, drive that decision with the support of better conditions usually offered in the hosting state. An important question is then raised, tackling whether identity and personal aspects are in fact more important than economic, financial and security factors. With the lack of security, political and economic stability in Egypt since the 25th of January revolution in 2011, the weight of importance of the identification and personal aspects that falls on the decision to be made is lighter, given that the family should concentrate on the long term security of the family. With a high unemployment indicator, increased inflation, high crime rate and sexual assaults as well as low education ratio, push factors support the decision of the average Egyptian family to immigrate in the benefit of all the members of the...
