What Are The Causes Of Immigration

Immigration is defined as “the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country” (according to the Oxford dictionary). The topic of immigration exists since a long time and still exists nowadays. In fact, immigration in the United States began very early with the settlers in 1660 and approximately during the XIXth century in Europe. Today, immigration is a predominant theme of discussion in many countries for several reasons. Also, this subject is quite complicated for many people, because it often divides the population in several parts. There are the cases of people who have their reasons to leave their countries for professional, economics, political reasons and so forth, but also those which are against emigrants for many causes
