The Migration Of Bangladeshi Transient Workers

Minority laborers often have to work in unfair working conditions, this can consist of poor wages, or poor working conditions and in many situations a boss whom takes advantage of the person’s minority status. For instance, if the worker is someone who does not have citizenship status in the country they are working in they could be under the constant threat of deportation. This was the case of one migrant working in Dubai who says:

Millions of immigrants migrate to the United States to escape the political repression that is taking place in their homeland. So immigrants choose to migrate to the United States because of the prospect of economic betterment. According to “Immigration” an article by Helmut Anheier, “immigrants compare wage rates and unemployment rates in their countries of origin as well as in potential destination countries.” Immigrants see the wage gap, therefore, they decide to migrate to the United States for greater good job opportunities. The job opportunities in America intrigue immigrants, so they migrate here to find work and make a new living. There are a

Refugees are people who crossed borders, fleeing due to problems related to race religion and nationality. While fleeing, refugees unknowingly carry many diseases due to lack of mental help and attention. When coming to a new country, refugees have no self-esteem to get jobs due to the language barrier. Refugees who flee their country and sacrifice everything are confident and strong willed with all the obstacles that come through their journey to start a new life. The long-term effects that a refugee experiences due to forced migration is Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Forced migration has a negative mental and physical affect on refugees.

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.

Yeh (1994) mentions that she has been witnessing the “rising poverty, homelessness and environmental degradation,” resulted from the immigration, from time to time (p.1). I have to side with her on this mentioned point. Presently, a similar situation is happening in Thailand. The migrant workers, both legal and illegal, most likely illegal, are spreading in every corner of the country. Moreover, some of them do not only come to work illegally, but also come to permanently settle and give birth of their babies though they do not even have their own legal documents. According to that, the population in the country keeps speedily increasing, which leads to an overcrowded ghetto uprising near the factory areas. Conversely, the natural resources are swiftly reducing; lately, Thailand more often faces an issue of clean water deficiency. In addition, in the economic downturn, the entrepreneurs plan to reduce production costs by hiring the cheaper labor, which are the migrant workers. As a result, the Thai labors are diminished a possibility of being employed, which later resulting in the endless of poverty

Second of all, immigrants increase the employment rate in the US by creating small business and investing in America.

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

We all have stories of our families, family backgrounds and how we became a part of it throughout the time and generations. One of the greatest ways that made it possible is immigration. Immigration is a way that brought cultures, customs, and families to a new place throughout history. The United States is one of the main places that carry the stories of our ancestors. Hearing stories about the past and learning about the cultures and traditions is really captivating to know. I don’t have any ancestor who immigrated a long, long time ago. So I will tell the story about my uncle and aunt who came to the United States from Bangladesh.

Do immigrant workers fill in job vacancies and promote employment dynamics? Using Thailand's firm-surveyed data, this paper investigates the challenges experience by firms employing immigrant workers and how immigrants help to fill job vacancies. Descriptive analysis shows that Thai firms do not have much difficulty employing immigrant workers, who come mostly from neighboring countries. Our regressions shows that, by analyzing firm-level characteristics, firms employing immigrant workers tend to be more labor intensive, use computers or other technologies less in production, are recently established, and employ high proportions of low educated workers. Firms having job vacancies in either skilled or unskilled positions and losing production days due to slowdown and stoppage of workers will tend to employ more immigrant workers in order to fill those vacancies and smooth out its production.

Migrant worker becomes a concern issue. In my opinion, migrant worker brings more benefits than loss. However, countries like America, England try to restrict the number of the migrant workers now. But it is not quite successful. There is a different view of points about the impact of migrant worker, including the advantage and the disadvantage. In my opinion, migrant worker brings more benefits than loss. According to the definition of migrant from International Labor Organization, migrant describes as a person who migrates from one country to another with a view to being employed otherwise than in his own account and includes any person regularly admitted as a migrant for employment. Most of the migrant workers come from the poor family in the past. They went to other countries to capture the job opportunity to earn money and most of them we do some low pay job since most of them were unskilled. Under the globalization and the advancement of travel technology, many skilled labor aims to capture the commercial possibilities oversea and send money back to their countries to support their family even their country development. And not only money, but also the knowledge. The migrant will bring the knowledge they learn
