Study Notes
Challenges of Immigration
- Immigrants face severe challenges when arriving in a new country due to conflicting desires to help others and fear of difference.
- The main issue is that the number of immigrants can put pressure on job opportunities and welfare capabilities of a country.
Effects of Immigration
- Immigration can be functional to the receiving country by alleviating labor shortages.
- Immigration can also be beneficial to the sending country by reducing population and relieving economic strain.
- However, immigration can also be dysfunctional, leading to exploitation of immigrants by countries seeking to maximize profits while ignoring global inequality.
Problems Caused by Immigration
- A sudden influx of immigrants can put pressure on social services in the receiving country.
- If too many skilled people leave a country, it can harm the country's future.
- Racism and dislike of immigrants who are a different race than the host country's population can also be a problem.
Reasons for Migration
- People migrate for various reasons, including war, famine, or the inability to make a living in their home country.
- Transnational individuals move across borders to find better jobs and education.
Immigration Policies
- Every country has its own immigration policies, which are often biased depending on the applicant's country of origin.
- Race and ethnicity tend to be the cause of biased policies and different expectations of people based on their socially constructed group.
- Examples of immigration policies include the 1986 United States Immigration Reform and Control Act, which extended amnesty and legal status to illegal immigrants.
Effects of Globalization on Immigration
- An interesting effect of globalization on immigration can be seen in the European Union, where residents of member countries can live and work in any EU country, linking their economies more tightly.
- Since September 11th, 2001, immigration has become more difficult globally, with countries increasing security checks and scrutiny on people seeking to move to a new country.
