Today In class we learned all about the challenges and things migrants go through. The government put a policy on the immigrants and emigrants. The U.N. classifies countries according to four types of immigration policies. For example maintain the current level of immigration, 2 increase the level, 3 reduce the level, 4 no policy. Usually the policies are classified as one or not all four of these classes. In these classes the U.N. has found that 21 want to seek more immigrants, 32 want fewer or less immigrants, 116 wish that the could maintain the level , and 25 do not have a policy. Now this could be very debatable because maybe some people wish they could maintain but the government needs more help with the jobs that the people already living there cant really do. 12 million immigrants to the United States between 1892 and 1954 were processed at Ellis Island. They had been transported from here to New York city. Ellis Island became a part of the statue of liberty. An Asylum seeker is someone who has migrated to another country in the hope of being recognized by as a refugee. Forced migration is considered here as a subject of international migration. In order for these people to migrate to these places/ in counties people need to get permission from the government. Migration can be International. Many of todays conflicts in former European colonies result from the past practices by European immigrants such as drawing arbitrary boundary lines and discriminating among different local ethnic groups. Millions of Mexicans are trying to cross the border by any means, legal or otherwise, in search of a more sustainable economic and cultural life. Mexico is the main destination for unauthorized immigrants. These unauthorized immigrants could violate the civil rights of the U.S. citizens. It would be impossible for these very high officers to do any more work than they have been doing. It would be impossible for law enforcers to actually find the 11 million unauthorized immigrants. These people known as unauthorized immigrants are productive and otherwise law-abiding members of U.S.society. We learned a lot in these handouts which I have really been able to better understand immigration and why it could be so bad for countries and the population. Another note would be out of the 16 highest per capita income Europe in northern and western have 14 in them. Guest workers are another program of immigration. Immigrants from poorer countries were allowed to immigrate temporarily to obtain jobs. This type of program is called circular migration which is the temporarily movement of a migrant worker between home and host countries. Guest workers were expected to return to their countries or where they came from once they had been done. Most people didn't follow this and some have gotten caught, some have gotten away with it which allows there families to be able to stay and have a safe and good living environment. This term guest worker is no longer used in Europe and government programs no longer exist. Immigrants also help there countries by sending remittances back home to thier families. Europe was also the source for many emigrants which mainly applied in the nineteen hundreds.
