Immigration Costs and Benefits
Immigration is an issue that causes changes on countries positively or negatively. There
has been a lot of explanations on what are the major reasons that force some people to leave their
homeland and migrate to another country permanently. Immigrants decide to leave their native
countries looking for better life conditions. They look for better education, jobs, wages,
healthcare, religious freedom. Others migrate escaping from wars, violence, diseases, injustice
and poverty. Consequently, immigrants can get benefits by moving to another country because
they reform their standard of living. On the other hand, countries that receive waves of
immigrants get benefits as well. The immigrant countries catch economic, educational and
political changes due to receiving numbers of immigrants. There are many scientists,
businessmen and professors who are immigrants and they could help the country that they move
in. However, there are many facts show that many immigrants violate laws of immigration. For
instance, entering illegal immigrants to countries cause many troubles for the countries because
these immigrants get illegal, undocumented jobs, apartments and they work under the table. In
this case, immigration has two aspects, one of them is advantageous and the other one is
detrimental. Thus, the question is what those advantageous and detrimental aspects of
immigration are?
