Immigration is a worldwide phenomenon. Better income, higher education and improved living standard are the goals of every immigrant searching for safety and stability. They move from their homeland leaving their jobs, homes and some also leave their families to search for a better job. There are advantages of immigration for the host country such as job vacancies that immigrants fill for minimum wages. Income growth that results from buying and saving money is another advantage.

They search for a better job with a higher rate of income, more job opportunities, better schools and learning systems. For example, America is known as one of the best immigration destinations. Zong (2016) states that immigrants are estimated to be 13.3 percent at 2014 from the population of the country and are increasing every year. The majority of immigrants to the U.S.A are from Latin America, especially Mexico. They come searching for job opportunities due to the lack of jobs that an individual can get. In “Immigrants do jobs native won’t do”, Caplen (2016) writes that immigrants perform different jobs in the host country such as maintenance, construction and building, companies, factories and security companies. Those jobs are categorized as minimum wage jobs that are mainly occupied by immigrants. Jahateh (2012) writes that some countries suffer from high unemployment rate such as Gambia with 22 percent unemployment rate while the other 40 percent are those who are employed but live below the poverty line. That is why many Gambians immigrate to Europe in search for a job opportunity.

Women, children and the elderly suffer physically, emotionally in wars. Also, some people can be easily killed for just saying their opinion about war or anything related to it. Some people might find it hard to escape their country because the army does not allow them to. For instance, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) do not allow people to immigrate to other areas or countries (Salaheddin, 2015). As a result, people have to find other ways to escape. Violence and crime spread rapidly in cases of war. Lack of secure and safeness lead people to move out from the country to provide a better life for themselves and family. Moreover to keep their children away from crime. During World War 1 and 2 a lot of Europeans immigrated to America and North Africa. Kraut (2000) writes in his article “Immigration in the early 1900’s” that in the first decade of the new century around 9 million immigrants arrived to the U.A.S. This amount of immigrants shows people’s desire to move and start a new life even if it means leaving everything behind. Sounding countries allow immigrant to live in their country or to set camps on their boarders. They provide them with food, water and job. Nonprofit organizations send
Most of the hardship will come from racism from other citizens of that country. Refugees will also have to find their way of assimilating to that country to seem “normal” to others. Refugees leave their country for many reasons; to escape war, or to help their family. There is always a reason why refugees immigrate to another country. For example, from the book Inside Out & Back Again says, “After two weeks at sea the commander calls all of us above deck for a formal lowering of our yellow flag with three red stripes.
Migration DBQ The United States of America has, and will always be, a country where immigrants and refugees can migrate to, internally and internationally, to vastly improve their lives. During the late 19th century in the US, there was a massive influx of immigrants from all over the world, as well as movement of people already living in the US to different areas. These people were primarily seeking better job opportunities due to numerous economic issues in foreign countries and social tensions in the post-Reconstruction US.
Immigration has been a part of many native-born American pasts. Whether first generation or fifth generation, most people in the United States have ties to immigration. Immigration can provide a multitude of benefits to a country including: more diverse culture, new foods, more workers, and more academic scholars. Immigration can provide families, and individuals, the ability to take their aspirations and make them come true. However, with vast immigration comes great responsibility.

People who are immigrants have many struggles they face when living in America. For instance, immigrants face the barrier of financial stability.

Immigration is the act of coming to live in a foreign country. Immigration has changed in many ways over the past decades. Although it has changed drastically, it still remains the same in some ways. Almost all of the immigrants come here to pursue the “American Dream” and have better lives for them and their families back in their countries of origin. Whenever there is an opportunity to work they don’t think about it twice and go for it.
To be an American. Many take this phrase too lightly, others, too strict. There are both formal and informal ways to consider yourself an American. Some think that to be an American means to have the privilege of attending a Yankees game on Sunday or being able to swing by and grab a big-mac every chance you get, having the privileges that we take so lightly while other countries strive for the resources and advantages that we don’t even think twice about until it suddenly no longer exists. Being an American means to be there when others are in need, whether they are a different skin color, talk differently, or even if they can’t communicate with you.
In the course of time, along with the development of some nations and ethnic groups in different geographic areas of the world, the people living in third world countries especially those with more calamities tend to immigrate to more civilized and developed countries. Currently, the immigration of numerous and countless families as well as individuals to industrialized countries reveals the fact that they are looking forward to finding better life opportunities containing proper medical facilities, social services, and so forth. Therefore, it is fair to say that unemployment, being desirous of a better lifestyle, political factors, religious bigotry, and civil wars cause people to leave their home country and go to other countries of the world.

Those that came to the United States had difficulties providing for their families and were often living in poor conditions.
They were pushed away from their previous country, either by War, economic issues,
Finally, the market structure and the economic cycle at destination influence the economic standing of newcomers in the host country. There are four main ways in which the market might influence the economic integration of immigrants. First, the host country’s labor market structure, including the size of unskilled and low-skilled labor sectors, affects the demand for immigrants who are, in most cases, low-skilled. Second, the flexibility of the host country’s labor market determines its degree of openness towards immigrants. For example, high levels of employment protection by unions might reduce employers’ willingness to hire immigrant workers.
An immigrant family wants the best for everyone lives, however moving to a new country brings struggles. There struggles include finding a home, a good paying job, avoiding to be deported, being separated ,and continuing their education. Immigrants expect a better life because their old home and country did have much benefits as the new country gives them.

Immigrants can be said to be a person who comes to live in foreign country permanently. Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, from around the world, have come to the United States seeking a better life for themselves and their family. These immigrants have many different motivations; some enter the U.S hoping to get a chance of a better life; others are refugees, escaping civil wars or persecution in their country.
