The Benefits and Problems of Migration in the UK

Emigrants came from every American society whom were the people that migrated west. A majority of them were farmers, cattlemen and homesteaders who migrated west to build a ranch or farm in this land of opportunity. Groups of African American slaves migrated west in order to get freedom. As for others, the reason for migrating west was mainly because they heard of a land in Northwest by the name Oregon. This place was known for their rich soil as well as great mild weather. Moreover, African Americans were the homesteaders who moved west that escaped from slavery. The sharecroppers were the African Americans who worked the land and had hoped to become farmers. Lastly, African American were tenants that decided to move west to become landowners

In a more liberal and democratic country, the immigration issue is greater with ‘unwanted migrations’. For example,

In 2010, when Ahmad wrote his article, immigration was on the rise in the UK. Many immigrants were being accepted into the country which created a record high. Although this situation may seem to be a good thing, it can be deceiving. Due to the increase in immigration, the government had pledged to cut migration by an exponential amount. “The British, who ruled my country for decades and taught me the English that I speak, have always had the power to keep me out of their country” (Ahmad 38). At this

To begin it is helpful to understand that the word “migrant” is a rather contested concept, one that changes over time, and varies depending on the criteria used to assign it.(Raghuram & Erel, 2014, p.133)

The nature of western migration was good and bad. With out western migration America wouldn’t be what it is now. But if we had found a different way to deal with the Indians it could have happened with less blood shed. We could have upheld our part of the treats with the Indians. We could have found a way to live with them instead of kicking them out. Then we would have been able to use the knowledge they have since they lived there for so long. But the increase in western migration kicked the indians out of their land.

Over the last decade, the number of immigrants has increased tremendously growing from 331,000 to a whopping 409,000. An increase of about 78,000 people ( Britannica). Despite media coverage on the issue many people are blind to the true nature of the situation . Therefore it is important to understand the extent to which immigration affects us all.

The groups that migrate to America have changed throughout history, but this nation has always had immigrants. In the past, it was clear that immigrants were vital to our country to grow our population and workforce. In recent times, however, immigration has become a controversial issue because it has been argued that immigrants are stealing jobs and driving up crime rate. This argument has been especially prevalent with our current presidential administration, which has prompted debates on building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, banning incoming Muslims, creating sanctuary cities, what we should do with the children from DACA, and so on. There have been some questions raised about modern immigration, but although some immigrants drain

Recent elections in the United States and Great Britain have identified certain vulnerabilities in the promotion of the free movement of people within and between their respective borders. The vulnerabilities for both countries seem to be rooted in fear within their respective populations and a lack of cohesive national immigration policy from their respective governments. When the bellwethers for free societies do not react appropriately to immigration and free trade challenges, the result will be to stifle movements for multicultural societies and cross-cultural experiences everywhere.

Thank you for your input. However, I disagree with you first statement. By allowing immigrants and refugees into the United States, this is not going to put a huge threat on our nation’s population. There are currently 326 million (roughly) people living in America. With this in mind, an extra one million is not going to tip the scale so drastically that this would become a “risk”. In addition to this, the people living in America have migrated from across the globe. You argue that our American ideology and culture may be threatened by immigrants, but in what way particularly? The only true natives are American Indians, but even their culture has not been fully assimilated or accepted in United States today. Because people come from different

Second of all, immigrants increase the employment rate in the US by creating small business and investing in America. According to Harjit Arora in his article, “Internal Migration: Trends and Economic Benefits”, he claims that immigrants can be helpful to replace the aging labor force by increasing the percentage of people that are employed and by creating small businesses (31). World Bank asserts that the percentage of immigrants self-employed in the US is 7.7 percent compared to 5.9 percent for those of the native-born (Arora, 31). In addition, in July 2013, the Executive Office of the President stated that immigrant-owned small businesses increased the assets of the U.S. by not only generate a total of 776 billion dollars, but also by employing

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” During the years 1886 and 1924 (“The Immigrant’s Statue,” 2016), one of the first things immigrants entering the United States through New York saw was the Statue of Liberty. Glancing upwards towards Lady Liberty they felt a sense of relief and comfort that they had finally reached the land of the free. Throughout history people have been constantly migrating from one place to the next. The reasons for migration vary and in most cases it influences the type of relationship that exist between migrant and host country.

This project argues that due to certain circumstances affecting the security of the UK, the implementation of the immigration act in recent years has caused many immigrants to leave the country or face difficulties residing in the UK.

Sir Jones revealed that Britain has grown complacent and that migrants should not be blamed for the nation’s unemployment as they are willing to work for low wages and possess the skills and education that Britain no longer provide for their own workforce .His opinion was shared by the Home Secretary’s, where they stated:

But at a critical level of analysis, it can be said that there have been many distributional ‎impacts which means that competition levels in the market rose and businesses experienced more ‎rivalry. As the years have passed since the 1940s, the pressure of migration has increased and the ‎impact of immigration on the UK local communities have also been obvious especially at a time ‎of rapid change that Britain is going through continually from time to time. This is why countries ‎need to maintain the laws and policies for migration and control the negative effects (Ham, 2010, ‎p. 152).‎
