IMMIGRATION

Introduction

 

Humans are beings that move for multiple needs. Historically we were nomadic beings (we needed to look for food in different places, until evolution and the discovery of tools led to a sedentary lifestyle)

Our precursors were privileged, because they only immigrated for that need, currently the reality is very different and more difficult. Current figures speak of more than 280 million people who have had to move to other countries for multiple reasons.

Violence, wars, poverty, hunger and other needs are among the causes of current immigration, a phenomenon that is growing rapidly and is experienced above all in Asian and African countries.

 

FAVORABLE ASPECTS

 

It is possible to point out the following as favorable aspects of immigration:

- The cultural enrichment of the receiving countries

- The possibility of improving the quality of life of immigrants.

- Reactivation of the economy, due to the contribution of more and often better labor for commercial and productive activities.

-The possibility of the immigrant to carry out his professional studies or put them into practice if he already has them.

- It is possible that new forms of work or employment arise.

- Lastly, and most importantly, is to save the lives of people forced to immigrate.

 

UNFAVORABLE ASPECTS:

 

Unfortunately it is possible to affirm that there are more of these aspects than the positive ones, among these we can mention:

 

- More evident and strong social inequalities.

- Increase in public spending for the countries or regions that receive the immigrant.

- Economic instability in some sectors of commerce

- Social problems such as insecurity, violence, drug addiction, among others.

- Abandonment of minors, promoting orphanhood.

- Overpopulation in some sectors and overflowing and disorderly growth of cities.

- Proliferation of diseases and lack of basic services

 

The advantages and disadvantages indicated above are evident in any of the countries that experience the problem of immigration on a daily basis, since this phenomenon has a negative and a positive part.

It is necessary to affirm that the highest percentage of migrants do so out of necessity and negative causes, as already mentioned; being wars and violence the greatest promoters of the displacement of people.

Governments have presented management plans and proposals, which have fallen short in many cases due to the massive influx of people on these routes of hope or sadness.

It is the power of each government to manage migration problems, but there are some precepts that are aligned with human rights and regulate the management of migration problems.

Some management protocols have been established that seek to improve the situation of those who suffer from these displacements and I personally believe that countries should allow the entry of these people, only for humanitarian reasons.

In conclusion, it is possible to affirm that although immigration is a difficult phenomenon for many regions, it is absolutely necessary, because it allows, above all, to preserve people's lives; personally, I believe that life is the greatest thing we have and we must preserve it. everyone and support those who need to preserve their lives, regardless of their origin, color, culture or religion
