The Migrant Crisis: Solving The Immigrant Crisis

Shawn Pogatchnik shows how important the fact that so many migrants are trying to flee to Germany and other EU countries by using statistics. Pogatchnik states that the EU countries “...has seen more than 332,000 migrants enter so far this year.” He also says that Germany “...is expecting to take in 800,000 migrants in this year.” When people read the article, they realize that what is going on must be bad enough for hundreds of thousands of people to want to flee their own country to enter another European country.

In the final draft I will expand on each of the issues, by looking into more specific examples of both what different European countries are doing policy wise, as well as what the sentiment is among the refugees in the different areas of Europe. To fully be able to understand the conditions the refugees are facing I will be using other scholars ethnography work; One of those works being Katerina Rozakou’s piece regarding the management of refugees in Greece. As a result of that knowledge I will be able to come to an accurate conclusion as to what course of action should be taken in Europe as a whole, to deal with this ongoing

The United States is one big melting pot of different kinds of people and this is what makes the United States so unique. Our ancestors at some point or another came over from a different country to start a new life for many different reasons, such as a better job opportunities and better quality of life. Many of us forget this to be true since our ancestors have lived in here for generation after generation. However, not everyone is as lucky as we are to be able to call themselves citizens of the United States. We still have many immigrants entering the United States to start a new and better life but this can create problems for the legal citizens when they do so illegally.

One of the biggest crises the United States fracases is illegal immigrant. Even though we know about the problem we don’t do anything that is effective. Because of illegal immigrant people born and raised in America are losing jobs.

Many immigrants die trying to get somewhere safe many migrants drowned ("Spring Could Bring a Fresh Surge of Refugees. But Europe Isn't Ready for them). Many people also go missing because the boat breaks (Spring Could Bring a Fresh Surge of Refugees. But Europe Isn't Ready for them). Many migrants get trapped in the country they are trying to leave (Abandoned to the Elements: Stranded in Mud and Freezing Rain, Thousands of Immigrants Trapped at Balkan Borders as Countries across Europe Close Their Doors.). Many immigrants are also locked out of countries and forced to live in poor conditions (

Immigration reform and how legal and illegal immigrants affect the United States’ economy is a much-debated topic. Skilled foreign workers are helping to create jobs, which stimulates America’s overall economic growth. The current visa process should be reformed to create even more jobs and economic growth.

The refugee crisis is a hotly debated and controversial topic all over the globe relevant to today. The rising number of refugees arriving in the European Union has significantly increased throughout the past few years. The controversy comes from not the refugees themselves, but from where they are emigrating from. Coming from extremely hostile and dangerous countries operated by the Islamic State militants, there is a sense of hysteria from the opposing side saying that there are risks that need to be factored in when accepting such a large amount of people from places where there are high concentrations of terrorism into their home countries. On the other side of the argument, the advocates for refugees are proclaiming that as humans we have moral obligations to give the quintessential helping hand to humans whenever one is in need, regardless of their situation or circumstances. Through social activism these proponents are seeking to

The first immigrants to the United States were European Quakers that came over on The Mayflower with a quest for freedom from the restraints of Great Britain and the Catholic Church. They were seeking freedom from oppression and the opportunity to build a better life. These people - by definition - are immigrants or refugees. We are all essentially foreigners in the United States, but some of us claim this land as our own - more so than others - and feel that people are intruding upon our “Americanized” country. This phenomenon has turned into a full-fledged political debate that has been coined as a “Refugee Crisis” or “Immigration Issue”. This is not just in the United States. Many European countries are dealing with the same issues and their refugees are seeking asylum from the torturous acts of ISIS. The history of immigration, the difference between immigrants and refugees, how immigration and refugees can be viewed as a social issue, and specific refugee and immigration conflicts and resolutions are all important factors of deciding how The Immigration Issue and Refugee Crisis are categorized as a social issue.

America may be a nation of immigrants, but they haven 't always welcomed newcomers with open arms. “Immigration has always been a political issue because government sets the numbers and rules for legal immigration. For a time during the 2008 presidential election, immigration was the most important issue for voters in several key agricultural states” (livinghistoryfarm.org). “America 's racial and ethnic makeup has been evolving since Spanish settlers and American Indians first mingled in the 16th century in St. Augustine and Santa Fe, in what are now Florida and New Mexico. But in spite of our heritage as a nation of immigrants, Americans have often been wary about welcoming foreigners, both legal and illegal” (teacher.scholastic.com).

The challenge of immigration. Uprooting your entire life, without the surety of success, foundation of family and a full understanding of the variables, has been the most challenging and revealing leg of my journey. Traveling and experiencing a new culture, trying to get your bearing after leaving everything you had behind reveals vast amount about yourself. I realized that I wanted to do, what I wanted to be and after that point I knew nothing would stop me from meeting my aspiration. Moving has definitely created a new time frame to complete my degree. Transitioning from a different curriculum, waiting for my immigration papers and amassing enough money to pay for school, has resulted in a few years to go by. Being older than some of the

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 difficult conclusion must be that neither burden-sharing nor diplomacy will end this crisis, that migrants will continue to come in very substantial numbers, and Europe will continue to blunder along, torn between concern about their suffering and fears about a future different from the one we had until now imagined. overcrowded refugee centers and local authorities and police stretched to their

"We didn’t raise the Statue of Liberty with her back to the world, we did it with her light shining as a beacon to the world. And whether we were Irish or Italians or Germans crossing the Atlantic, or Japanese or Chinese crossing the Pacific; whether we crossed the Rio Grande or flew here from all over the world — generations of immigrants have made this country into what it is. It’s what makes us special." — President Obama, November 21, 2014. Some People don’t agree, people think that there are too many immigrants (both legal and illegal) in the USA and that they are taking all of the jobs away from natural born Americans. Others say that immigrants help the economy, bringing in new skills, and starting new businesses, and that if we

Overview of the migrant crisis: In 2014, over 65,000 unaccompanied alien youth were apprehended at the United States’ southern border (1). The influx of children embarking on the treacherous journey to the United States are primarily coming from Central American countries, namely El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala (also known as the Northern Triangle countries). Serious structural conditions embedded in these countries have pushed these migrant children to flee their homes and cross the U.S. border. These children encounter horrific living conditions, facing rape, gang violence, organized crime, and pervasive poverty. Many of them left not only to escape the terrible conditions but also in the hopes of reuniting with their families in

Since 2011, Syria has been engaged in a Civil War with protestors against the government and members of the extremist group ISIS, and approximately 7.6 million people have been displaced from their homes (usnews.com 2015). As the conflict destroys more homes and livelihoods each year, an increasing number of civilians have been forced to leave Syria and try to find safety elsewhere. Already a contentious issue, the Syrian refugee crisis has awakened tensions, both economic and social as debate erupts over what to do with the refugees.In response to the crisis, while some countries like Germany have pledged to help the refugees, (New Statesman 2015 1) only 2,340 have been admitted. Clearly, more needs to be done in order to help the refugees. Although there are economic and population concerns to be considered, the humanitarian conflict that faces the refugees and solutions already available are reason enough for Europe to increase the numbers of Syrian refugees allowed in.
