Most of these immigrants are refuge and asylum seekers. The other push factor is homelessness as several people within the nation have been rendered homeless and in turn are forced to live in camps in Syria or in neighboring nations such as Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey (Semple, para
Discussion and Conclusion Migration is an international and worldwide occurrence that is instigated by not only economic factors, but also caused by political, environmental, social, education, health and transportation factors. This aspect usually occurs owing to the push factor of inadequate opportunities and prospects in the socio-economic state of affairs and also owing to the pull factors that are present in regions that are more developed (Thet, 1)
Those who arrive legally are one class, while those who arrive illegally and thus lack many of the legal means to assimilate form another class entirely. The illegal class is forced to exist in an underground economy, often run by their own ethnic group, but more importantly where their freedoms are limited, including the freedom to express their own culture, much less than of their adopted country (Hilgers, 2014)
New immigrants are in an unfamiliar land, and they lean heavily on their own communities in order to deal with the challenges that they face -- cultural, linguistic and legal challenges are often significant for new immigrants. This is why new immigrants tend to cluster in communities and ethnic enclaves (Logan, Zhang and Alba, 2002)
There are exceptions to this rule, however, in particular as family connections are important in American life. The migration of the Hmong communities to the Midwest is a good example where even second-generation immigrant form communities, because of the pragmatic reality that it helps to have a lot of support to thrive in America (Pfeifer, Lai & Arguelles, 2003)
The pathetic economic standards of nations and regions such as Ireland, Germany, Scotland and Scandinavia prompted their citizens to move to North America, settling down in Mississippi River valleys and Ohio in search of cheaper land as compared to the exorbitant rents and land rates in their home countries. The migration from Southern and Eastern Europe in specific was so massive that by the early 20th Century, particularly between 1910 and 1970s, most migrants to North America were from these two regions, with most fleeing poverty, discrimination and famine in their mother countries (Richard W., 2015)
S. and another estimated 6 million more opted to migrate Northwards, hence the great migration (A&E Television Networks, 2015)
Merkl proclaimed in 2010 that multiculturalism had "utterly failed" in Germany and that more had to be done by immigrants to integrate themselves into German society, echoing the paradoxical position of Stoiber (Weaver, 2010). Six years later, Merkl would still be talking about the need for a "frank talk about integration" even as she continued to push for open borders throughout the EU and for a greater welcome of refugees from the catastrophic war in Syria and immigrants from Turkey, cited by complaining Germans as being the cause of "assaults," "rapes," and other acts of violence (Neo, 2016)
Conditions have changed so much in the past 16 years, in fact, that the debate about immigration/integration has almost reached an absurdist crescendo, beginning with Bavarian Premier and Christian Social Union leader Edmund Stoiber attempting to maintain some kind of balance between past calls for acceptance and present cries for fences and walls: "Yes to openness and tolerance, no to Islamist head scarves," Stoiber said (DW Staff, 2004). Merkl proclaimed in 2010 that multiculturalism had "utterly failed" in Germany and that more had to be done by immigrants to integrate themselves into German society, echoing the paradoxical position of Stoiber (Weaver, 2010)
S., while the remaining 7% were imprisoned for other migration-related transgressions (Koehler)
The law does not permit it to indefinitely detain migrants it cannot send home. Furthermore, poorer countries are usually unwilling to accept criminals as they lack the resources necessary to handle them (Nixon)
