Impact and Effects of European Immigration

Migration policies are often designed with the sole objective of influencing international migration by either restricting or encouraging circular migration, immigration or emigration(Ripsman & Paul, 2010). Open border policies have contributed to the uncontrolled to the flow of illegal immigrants into countries and in turn generating challenges to the host countries. The fundamental basis for arguments has been whether open immigration policy or restricted immigration policy

The development of a human rights policy in the EU has been a long and often undocumented journey. The sectoral approach of the Paris Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951 had an economic and functional intention, lacking a declaration of fundamental rights, as seen in national constitutions. It was not until the 2000 Nice Summit that the European Union first established a written charter, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, explicitly stating and guaranteeing human rights in the European Union. Documented EU human rights policy before 2000 can be seen primarily in two ways:

Sara Arbini decided to leave her husband in Syria in order to gain access to proper medical care. She says, “It’s like we went back 200 years.” Finding work, clean water, and electricity became

The United States is both a nation of and built by immigrants. The former implies that the “golden door” that Emma Lazarus spoke of is responsible for the fabric of American society while the latter suggests that the nation’s immigrants contributed to the United States’ rise to global leadership. During a conference at Princeton University on Military Man Power and American Policy in 1942, Dr. Edward Mead Earle stated that “[m]an power is a definite factor in the world balance of power, and, what is more important, it is a constantly changing factor…the nature of these changes and their probable effect…should be thoroughly understood in order that the national interest may be safeguarded…” Today, the Correlates of War project applies this same logic in explaining the factors that indicate national power. Three of those indicators — military personnel, urban population, and total population — are directly influenced by immigration.

Especially in light of the recent refugee crisis, there has been an influx of anti-immigration rhetoric, most of which identifies immigrants and refugees as criminal. This has brought to light an ongoing debate: is there a crime-immigration nexus? This paper will explore data from various studies that have examined not only a negative relationship between crime rates and immigration, but also evidence of protective and generational effects of immigration. Arguing that immigration reduces crime rates rather than increases it, it will then examine the various theories that seek to explain this phenomenon.

Amongst current events, immigration is one of the hotly debated topics of today. It’s will be a determining factor in the current U.S. presidential race. Hispanic/Latino immigrants are one of the fastest growing demographics in our populations and consideration of political value due to their impact on and to the economy. Their ethnicity makes them the subject of random criticism and plays a role in how well they assimilate into the US. How they are perceived and treated while trying to build a new life with dreams, like many Americans, of a better life, will also play a crucial role in how they adapt to their new surroundings.

The first reaction when citizens read the word illegal is to automatically believe that there are no advantages to the situation. Although, there are many different approaches in viewing the immigration reform in the United States. Immigration can be seen as a much more complex issue than just what meets the human eye. Most immigrants do not cross the border solely because they are looking to break the law, they do so because they are attempting to seek better opportunities and lifestyle for themselves and their families. There is a strong concern in the United States that immigrants will replace American workers and reduce our standards of living. On the contrary, evidence suggests that immigrants typically boost American workers’ overall standard of living by increasing American wages and lowering prices for consumers. The United States’ immigration system is clearly broken, employers are gaming the system by hiring undocumented workers for lower wages, tax free. This is alone is leaving 11 million immigrants living in the dark. It is clear that fixing the broken system would in turn boost the U.S. economy and help all workers by increasing the productivity of American works, creating more jobs, increasing wages of many workers, and lastly reducing the current deficit the U.S is currently in.

Something really interesting was used in this article to combat the immigrants effect on support for social policy. It was said that in higher density areas that were majority immigrants, actually increased public support for social policies, because the majority of immigrants did not benefit off welfare. The most important fact is when they argued that the increase in immigrants increased the use of welfare; they were wrong. In 1994, it was stated that the U.S. welfare state was purposefully told not to include racial minorities aka immigrants. One of the strong points of this article is that social policy is being affected by immigrants, but not in the way you would think. It is being affected by the natives who have racial attitudes towards the immigrants making the natives less supportive of social policy; proving that it is not the immigrants fault. The weak point of the article is when the opposition claims that growing foreign-born populations increase

Immigration, a controversial topic of the modern world, is often associated with illegalities of the Government. The topic continues to loom over the 21st century as more and more poverty stricken countries are under financial strain. It is the national movement of people into a country in which they are not natives or where they do not possess residency and citizenship as their own country has fallen due to possibly natural disasters, war and regime. The debate still remains as to whether immigrants; illegal or not are to be either sent back to their countries or given less opportunities than citizens of their chosen country.

Some experts argue that the recent rise in xenophobic promises and policies in European countries has to do with the populace’s fear over job loss, pensions and benefits cutting, and a fear in the loss of a national identity—which some

This article explains and show the immigration crisis today in Europe and how it might still yet to get worst. In Europe as it is today, has been serving as a major ground for immigrant refugees. There is over sixty million displaced people and refugees, numbers not even heard of during the period of WW2 coming from not only seria but from other regions like Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and even Haiti. The must striking thing about this crisis, is that it is still expected to get worst. Say if the tailaban keep trying to extend their territorial gains across Afghanistan, this will force afghans to want to migrate. Due to this attacks, about one hundred thousand afghans are expected to migrate to Europe this year. These numbers increase daily as these refugees try to escape thier home countries due to terrosm or other unpeace conditions. For example many inhaptants of Iraq are already homeless, daily amid wartime shortages of food and medicine and persistent bombardment by Isis . Yemen is not much farther away from Europe than eritia now the biggest source of African refugees, just across the Red Sea, and at some 25 million it is as. According to numerous interviews conducted, Nigeria which has a

The debate over the years, however, has been whether liberal democratic nations should tolerate the entry of irregular migrants into their countries. Questions have also been asked as to what legal and moral obligation these nations have over the vulnerability of illegal migrants into

In addition to the issue of national security, another factor that accounts for the controversy on the refugee crisis is the perplexing relationship between economic stability and the basic standards of humanity. Many Europeans are living under precarious conditions and thus, they lack the time and money to spare. Consequently, many Europeans think of Muslim migrants less as refugees but as “competitors with similar levels of prospects” (“Eastern Europe's Crisis of Compassion”). The concern over economic instability is also plays a role in the Turkish accession to the European Union (EU). Many Europeans are anxious about Turks immigrating to Europe in search of jobs when the unemployment rate in Europe is already so high. Moreover, Europeans

As Migrants are quickly flooding Europe, the world is yet to discover history’s most dangerous border crossing. On April 19, more than 600 refugees drowned in the Mediterranean when their boat capsized traveling from Africa to Italy. On April 12, about 400 people died in a different shipwreck, and currently in 2015, 1,600 migrants have lost their lives in attempt to cross the Mediterranean, and experts fear that the number of deaths will only increase as time continues. EU member states have received 216,300 applications asking for safety within a country from mistreated men, women, and families. A large number of these people are fleeing from Syria, which is currently in a civil war, Eritrea, which is harshly ruled by one person, and Mali, currently fighting a civil war as well.

Immigration to the European Union The EU has to decide how to deal with immigration. The European Union allows it's citizens to move freely within it's borders, and also work in any member country. It is also relatively safe and has a democratic government, which makes the laws and regulations, the countries within it are quite highly developed and successful, and provide benefits to needy citizens. It may not be perfect, but compared to other countries there are many opportunities for a 'good life' in the EU.
