Challenges Of Irregular Migration

1341 Words6 Pages

Irregular migration has become a growing concern for the developed world, especially countries in Western Europe and North America. The issue is gaining widespread attention in these counties, which has resulted in governments taking severe measures to combat the challenges it presents. These measures include various initiatives to review, reinforce and improve the existing regional, as well as international infrastructure already in place to control irregular migration. Although there is no universally accepted definition of the term ‘irregular migration’, it is widely recognized as a movement of people that is not conducted within the boundaries of the regulatory norms of the sending, transit and receiving countries. However, irregularity …show more content…

Sources suggest that people whose applications for asylum are rejected by a country are likely to try to entry that country illegally (huddles masses). The major segments of people crossing international borders illegally include people looking for better employment opportunities, people fleeing war or persecution in their home country, etc.

An increase in social problems can be observed with the increase in the number of irregular migrants in most countries, e.g. an increase in the crime rate, burden on infrastructure and housing, government welfare, etc. (Impact of irregular migration). Irregular immigrants are particularly vulnerable to be attracted to petty crimes. Since they cannot find legal work that is highly paid, thus it seems that irregular immigrant communities may have no option than to resort to criminal activities to make ends meet. They try to cut themselves off from the society and usually work in insufficient economic conditions as they are unable to climb the social ladder in society. (ippr) In my opinion, asylum seekers have no other option than to do robberies and commit crime because they are highly impoverished and need something to stay alive on. “In …show more content…

Additionally, if more people are living in the same place, it will lead to environmental issues like heath, drainage systems ,food shortages. Due to irregular migration , people have stopped letting their private property or houses in cities like London.,(the housing and neighborhood impact) Culture difference can also lead to social issues. Language is a big barrier when it comes to interactions in a social set up. Since most asylum seekers are unaware of the language spoken at the destination country, it becomes hard for them to become involved. Secondly, these migrants cannot follow the traditions from their home country very openly because it is uncomfortable for them to do so as they are in minority. An example is when a child was born to a Vietnamese girl and the nurse asked her to shower the child but her mother had stopped her from doing so.The girl still showered her baby, coming under pressure from the nurse.

    Immigrants who are not prepared with adequate water, protection from the sun, and warm clothing mostly suffer dehydration, heat stroke, or hypothermia. Moreover, a lot of people die because they don’t have enough nourishment and water or they got shot from the U.S. border patrol or automatically triggering guns, which are frequently erected in the “no-man’s-land“. Because of that, some of the fleeing Mexicans hire so-called “coyotes“, who smuggle them to the U.S.. These coyotes demand high payment and they don’t shrink from violence if the refugees can’t pay.

    Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.

  • Theories Of Neoclassical Theory Of Migration

    745 Words  | 3 Pages

    Neoclassical Theory of Migration One of the oldest and most commonly used theory used to explain migration is the Neoclassical theory of Migration. Neoclassical Theory (Sjaastad 1962; Todaro 1969) proposes that international migration is connected to the global supply and demand for labor. Nations with scarce labor supply and high demand will have high wages that attract immigrants from nations with a surplus of labor. The main assumption of neoclassical theory of migration is led by the push factors which cause person to leave and the pull forces which draw them to come to that nation. The Neoclassical theory states that the major cause of migration is different pay and access to jobs even though it looks at other factors contributing to the departure, the essential position is taken by individual higher wages benefit element.

    Transnational migration study is not a new phenomenon and it has been found that “this process is happening more regularly on a basic routine because of fast growing technology and the spread of globalization.” It is generally agreed that with the rapid acceleration of economic globalization, transnational trend has gradually become a global phenomenon. The convenient transportation and advanced technology have really helped to make the transnational process easier.
