Persuasive Essay On Immigration

Immigration has become an issue all around the world. Everyone have different opinions on how immigrants affect our society. Is immigration good for the economy, the employment rate for immigrants and their pay, how the ban could have a major impact on the U.S., why do people migrate, and DACA (deferred action for childhood arrivals). This essay will hopefully answer any question about immigration and we should handle the ban.

In the attempts to “manage the immigrant crisis” several strategic mistakes have been made, which have shaken the functioning of migration policy in the European community. Particular controversy was stirred up by a plan for the relocation of 120,000 refugees suggested in September 2015. Some months later (April/May 2016), the European Commission came up with the idea of fines for those countries which would not receive the relocated refugees. The fine for one unaccepted foreigner was supposed to be €250,000. The attempt to impose a quota of immigrants on member countries together with high fines contributed to further divisions inside the EU.

The European migrant crisis began in 2015 when there was an influx of refugees coming into the European Union through southern European countries and by way of the Mediterranean Sea. An extremely large portion of these refugees came from Syria and Iraq. One of the leading causes of the mass migration was war and unrest and the consequent rise of insurgency groups such as ISIS within these people’s home countries. As their homes and cities have become unfit to live in any longer, people have been driven to seek asylum in European countries. Greece and other southern European countries like

The important underlining problem is the fact that these migrants are arriving and staying in Italy and Greece. Both Italy and Greece are going through an economic crisis that cannot sustain the migrants that are landing within their borders; they are asking the European Union to give them relief, by imposing quotas to redistribute the migrants to other European nations that are a part of the migration policy. The migrant crisis also brings insecurity to nations such as Italy and Greece because of they are not prepared to deal with the amount of people entering in their borders. Not all European countries

The immigration is not a new concept in the 21th century. Throughout history, people would travel into new places to establish better lives. Immigration involves the movement of people from their home country to a host country, which they are not native, to settle and live. People migrate for many reasons; some of which include economic or political reasons, family reunification, natural disasters, or the desire to change one 's surroundings. Today, the influx of migration became a dilemma in European nations, which ultimately brought so many people from other nations to get settled, especially from war countries. Leaving your country into a new place might be the hardest decision in your life you make, since you have no knowledge about it your new place. For the last few years, thousands of immigrants from the Middle East, South Asia, and Asia are crossing the borders of Europe illegally to look for new places and live in better. They take so much risks in their lives and some even cannot make it through due to the brutality of borders and waters of the seas and oceans. Immigrants get drowned in the sea. A friend of mine who left Afghanistan last year with his two children and wife, his older son sunk in the Mediterranean Sea and died. Is it worth it? However, those even who make to their final destinations have also have so much difficulties to get settled. For example, some European nations do not accept the flow of immigrants because they argue that immigrants will

Refugee issue is a global issue mainly due to wars, conflicts or environmental, political, religious and racial reasons (Gibney & Gil, 2010). In recent years, the turmoil triggered by the "Arab Spring" in many countries in West Asia and North Africa causing numerous refugees, so it has once again attracted the attention of people（Grossman, 2017）. People forced to relocate their homes and even renounce their nationality by war or natural disasters are defined as refugee（UNHCR，2017）.The influx of refugees brings cheap labor forces reducing the cost of productions ,and causes the promotion of economic development. In addition, the increasing population leads to an increase in demand which can increase the income of the host countries and the state tax. It can be argued that refugees are unable to benefit the host nations because refugees increase unemployment rate and occupy resources in education. Although it may be true that there are some negative effects caused by refugees, refugees can benefit the host nation in terms of economy and social advancement.

Europe is in a state of turmoil. Immigrants have arrived in Europe by the millions, which has caused this nation to think about their old immigration policies. After World War II, Europe decided to have an open door policy for incoming immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. As time progressed and wars started in the Middle East and Africa, Europe started to take in refugees. One of the qualifications to live as a refugee in an Europe nation is one must apply for asylum. This application process just shows that the people that are escaping from their country, really do need to escape because they are being prosecuted in their own country. However, many people fake the information and are being let into countries that they have the ability

There was a time in the 1990s when immigrants flooded to Europe, and European countries relied on these people to help boost their workforce and promote economic growth. As low economic growth rates persisted and recessions occurred and recurred, anti-immigrant notions began to emerge because natural citizens could not find jobs. Today, migrants are flooding to Europe, not so much to find better jobs, but to escape wars and persecution within their home countries. Europe as of late has seen a massive influx of refugees from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, and the Middle East. With the growing number of terror cells and civil unrest in Syria, Syrians, which account for almost 40% of all migrants to Europe in 2015, are seeking refuge in European countries in overwhelming numbers. This influx of people has resulted

It is an accident of the geography and history, just simply bad luck that has resulted in most taking large numbers of immigrants but the other countries get none. The first developed countries on the migrant routes have been getting large numbers, but as those who wish to seek asylum have to apply in a safe country first. Also those countries that live next to the war zones, or the places that are affected by natural disasters, have been getting a very large arrivals of migrants who are hoping to get home as soon as they possibly can. There are more than 1.1million refugees that are from Syria in Lebanon with a county with less than 6milion. It is right that there should have been a mechanism to help level out the migrants and the rich developed

The cost of providing aid to the refugees is a huge problem countries would face. With the high number of refugees coming into the EU countries, the government in these countries would have to fund themselves. This is because the European Union is a major provider of humanitarian aid to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the leading refugee agency in the world which operates under the UN. This would mean that the inflow of refugees into the EU countries would majorly have to be funded by the EU nations themselves. The situation of financial burden that refugees lay on countries could be shown using the example of the situation in Lebanon. Shafy (2002) explains that refugees cost Lebanon $ 8.1 billion with the UN unsure of how it would help the country; also the donations from the countries to the UN were too little to help Lebanon. This situation would be faced by the EU nations if the problem persists because many of the major EU countries are indebted according to Ashley Kirk, (The Telegraph UK) who talks about the European debt crisis. This would mean that the cost of helping the refugees and providing basic necessities may lead to greater debt for these countries.

The Eurozone economic crisis began at the end of 2009. Essentially, the failure of the Euro caused huge problems in southern European countries (such as Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Italy). After the introduction of the Euro, these countries suddenly had the credit to borrow money like they hadn’t had before. They extravagantly increased spending with this borrowed money, which at first boosted the economy but eventually led to massive debts. Since every economy was intertwined, the rest of the Eurozone was effected as well. Because everyone had been borrowing and lending money to each other, a problem in one country could reverberate across the continent, creating a chain reaction of defaults. Germany agreed to bailout these smaller countries, effectively picking up the tab, as long as they agreed to very strict austerity measures. The contrasting expectations between a financially responsible country like Germany and one that doesn’t pay taxes such as Greece amplified tensions. Cultural differences such as this are surprisingly relevant to the economic crisis, as the disparities in immigration policy demonstrate.

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the Syrian refugee crisis. It’s the new hot topic whenever anyone touches on issues of immigration. However, there is a more persistent and arguably larger immigration “crisis” that we need to address; and that is the North African migratory movements. Europe has dealt with North Africa many times as a place of immigration and transit, often times very badly. For many, the original question of “security vs acceptance” was borne from the legal and illegal movement of African migrants. And lately, it seems that Europe has decided to err heavily on the side of caution, implementing sweeping measures focused on sending all migrants back. However, the problem does not only lie in this approach, but also their tacit policy of accepting high-skilled workers from the many struggling countries in Africa. There is then a dual effect in progress – that of the countries losing their best and brightest and all the while receiving almost no material help in dealing with the struggling poor left behind. This leaves the countries in a crippling cycle of under-development, while all Europe does it gain young skilled workers.

In this article Bermeo and Lebland discuss two hypotheses explaining the relation between immigration and foreign aid. They hypothesis that (1) donor countries use this foreign aid to ‘aid’ or to further their own individual immigration policy goals, and (2) migrants, who have already moved, lobby their new countries for an increase in aid to their home countries. Anti-immigration parties and policies have come out of developed donor nations including Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands. This social unrest stems from immigration of low skilled migrants to these industrialized countries. Many of these new policies include increases in border security and mandating language proficiency. These countries however send a significant amount in

Henry Orban has stated that “Western Europe [is] so preoccupied with solving the situation of immigrants that it forgot about the working class” and that “many [immigrants] became freeloaders on the back of welfare systems” (Beary, 7). The money they should be using to pay debts or their people is now going towards dealing with thousands of trapped migrants seeking asylum in northern Europe. For example, Europe recently announced plans for an emergency aid package worth 700 million euros (Kanter). With Greece being the main entry route for the refugees, the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is left to balance both the growing number of migrants and the austerity measures and structural reforms required to avoid exiting the Euro (Alderman).

Migrants remitted $338 billion globally in 2009 (Levitt and Lamba-Nieves, 2). In the past 30 years studies into remittances have
