Immigration and Dual Citizenship: Is It Possible?

The factors that spur them into moving are usually a combination of both push and pull factors. Some push factors include violence, political instability, and an inadequate economy found in the homeland. Some pull factors include better job opportunities and more social stability in the destination. Whatever the reason, that’s what we must consider in order to properly understand the predicaments the illegal immigrants have faced through their treacherous journey just to be in a position better than the one they were previously

What pull factors help people make the decision on where to go after leaving their home country? Pull factors also play a big role in human migration. One of the biggest pull factors out of all of them is the chance of freedom and a healthy life. In Vietnam a man named Thanh Tran had fled his home, Vietnam, after the country being wartorn. He was the youngest of 12 children but 7 of his siblings had been taken from him because of war. On March 28, 1975, Communists had invaded Da Nang, went to his home, asked his name, blindfolded him, and handcuffed him. He was taken to where soldiers had been killed prior. Fortunately nothing had ever happened to them. Communists did this to avoid riots because of their victory. When they released him they

9. Immigrants choose to migrate to the United States for many reasons such as poverty or blight. Some of these immigrants were forced out of their homes while others simply felt attracted to America for its ideas and freedoms. However, not all immigrants were welcomed like the Irish who held no crafting skills or any skill at all.

There are many reasons why an immigrant decided to leave his or her home. One could be the lack of work or low paying jobs. In a life where most people want to prosper having a lack of work or money to move forward makes it really hard to progress in life. Another could be, that they’re in look for a better future for their children and want to provide the best for them, if they see that a land can offer better this also can be a reason to risk it all. Their government may be run in a way that they don’t like, killings feeling in danger all give a migrant a reason to want to leave so they go to new lands to try to find a better future.

Many people migrate from their country and go to the U.S. There are many reasons why people do this. Lack of job opportunity, poverty, diseases, tends to push people to leave the country.

It doesn’t have electricity or advanced farming tools or fancy houses or flushing toilets. Life is difficult there. The poor work as farmers, but are paid very little. They are extremely poor and if they try to fight for their rights, the government kills them.

The United States is not the only country that questions the necessity for dual citizenship. This article is surrounding the issue of dual citizenship in Canada but it highlights similar issues to those brought up in debates on this subject in the U.S. The main argument is if people with dual citizenships should receive the same treatment as a plain citizen. Choosing to live in a particular country shows one’s commitment and membership to a country. By attempting to become a citizen of another country may seem like a betrayal of the original country. This article, similar to many op-eds surrounding this issue, uses ethos to prove its point. The morals surrounding criminal activity and its consequences are stated. The argument is how people

People move to another country because they’re looking for a better lifestyle than the one they were living back in their home country. It is a positive change they see for their lives. In addition, as mentioned in the chapter, there are certain push and pull factors in which people are obligated to move out. For example, low wages, lack of job opportunities, and poverty are push factors. On the other hand, pull factors are better job opportunities, and higher salaries. Although, some people leave their country legally in reality there are higher rates of illegal immigration. Since the process to get the legal documentation is long and thus very expensive, many people can’t afford it, therefore; they go for the riskiest choice by crossing undocumented.

As the world evolves, people tend to move from country to country or within a country. Each country or city has its own push factors that push away immigrants, while others have pull factors that make immigrants drawn to that country or city. Furthermore, having to emigrate also has its barriers, making it harder to emigrate to where settlers want to be, and there are reasons for why people decide to migrate, too. There are several reasons why people decide to immigrate, why they choose to immigrate to that place, and why not other places.

Other raisons that some persons immigrate are for the future of their children, more futuristic perspective. They immigrate to give more opportunities to their children to obtain better lives or being in a better environment.

Although Immigration is a complex topic with many different factors, the most common reason for immigration is poverty and the hopes of building a new future elsewhere. In the past migration was largely caused by the fore-mentioned issue of poverty, social strife, war, or other political conflicts. As of today these things are still issues and in some cases political asylum does play part in immigration decisions. Globalization is defined as the tendency for business, technologies, or philosophies to spread throughout the world. Globalization is also a major factor in the decisions made before immigration, often times families and friends will eventually re-unite in one region in order to remain together. Living in a more technical world with an advanced society has brought us to the point we are at today, a nearly global community with more in common than in any century before. With the beginning of modern technology in the 1900’s came a more closely knit world, with more communication than what was seen in the past.

One of the first root causes seen in Which Way Home is migrating to the United States (U.S.) to get a job and to financially help their families. Fourteen year old Kevin from Honduras wanted to go to the U.S. so he could find a job and help support his mom. Kevin’s step dad did not want him and his step dad beat his mom, as well. Kevin felt that by migrating to the U.S. he would be able to support his mom and his siblings. Many child migrants feel that they have no opportunities in their home countries and that if they move to the U.S. they will have more job opportunities and they will be able to help support their families financially. Kevin traveled with his friend Fito, who wanted a better life for himself, which is another root cause.
