When people think of Indian migration, they think of all the male workers, and all the people working in the labour force. Especially in a country like the UAE. But even though, the total of international migrants from India, has risen up to 10 million people, it is less than 5% of all the immigration …show more content…
In Indian culture, when a woman gets married, she must then move to the house of her new husband. So if you think about it, every single married woman in India, moves either a long or short distance. So all women end up migrating. Also, when a woman is looking for a spouse, she wants one with a good quality job, and one that can support his family, and since all of theses types of men live in urban areas, that is where they end up moving. And in turn, the man has a higher chance of getting a bride if he lives in the city, so that is where he goes. in total, 56 % of all migration, happens because of marriage. Large cities put out advertising, promising a better lifestyle, that pulls even more people in.

Douglas You may be able to see parallels from then to today in other countries but I fail to see how people sneaking into our country illegally and getting a job from a business in this country illegally has anything to do with slavery or labor laws. I would agree with you if we were rounding up immigrants and bringing them into our country and forcing them to work for cheap labor. That is not the case, immigrants are risking their lives and their families lives to come into The United States of America to escape the hell that they were living in and work for more money than they have ever made in their entire lives. I don't agree with companies hiring anyone that is in this country illegally and think the punishment for doing so should be

The Great Migration and/in the Congregation The Great Migration was the migration occurred within the United States between 1910 and 1970 which saw the displacement of about seven million African Americans from the southern states to those in the North, Midwest and West. The reasons that led thousands of African Americans to leave the southern states and move to the northern industrial cities were both economic and social, related to racism, job opportunities in the industrial cities and the search of better lives, the attempts to escape racism and the Jim Crow Laws that took them away the right to vote. As every social phenomena, the Great Migration had both positive and negative effects; in my opinion the Great Migration can be considered a negative development in the short and medium term, but, if we analyze the benefits brought to the African-American communities in the long term, their fight for integration has shaped the history of the United States in its progress to democracy and civil rights.

Emigration, the act of such persons leaving their country and heading to a country of foreigners for different reasons. Immigration has never been an easy choice, but recently factors have made it easier. Immigrants, in my point of view, can be divided into two kinds, the first are people leaving their countries looking for a source of money and escaping the struggle of poverty, and the other kind are people looking for a peaceful life with no bombs damaging their hometowns every day, escaping wars and political persecutions looking for the freedom they have always been missing.
