Immigration in Europe

IMMIGRATION IN EUROPE.

a. Reasons for immigration from Third World countries.
b. Types of jobs got by immigrants.
c. Problems for immigrants out of their culture (family, education, culture, religion).

The immigration is an old problem that many countries have had for a long time. The countries that suffer this trouble are usually countries that they have a good development and they are richer than others. Nowadays, in Europe there are some countries that they are among these countries and for this reason they receive a lot of people who leave their countries in order to look for a better life. In the following paragraphs I am going to explain from my point of view the reasons, the types of jobs and the problems that they are linked with immigration.

First, the reasons most important related with the immigration are mainly economic problems. The people who do not get a good job in their country or simply they cannot earn enough money to buy food for their families. They go away from their countries to a country where they can get a job and therefore to increase their quality of life. Other reasons sometimes are because they have to escape from their countries caused by a war.

Second, the types of jobs got by immigrants, they are often the jobs with lower profits. It is sad, but really it is true, that many times the enterprises pay quiet less to an immigrate than a local person. I think that the government should obligate to pay the same amount of money, whether both of them do the same kind of job.

Third, the immigrants have to face to a lot of troubles when they arrive to a different country. Often their culture is different, they have different religion, education, their habits are different and they have to get used to the customs that there are in the new country. For these reasons, many times the immigrates feel refused by the local people.

To sum up, I have to say that I agree with the immigration and it is logical that the people who belong to poor countries, they want to look for a good job and to get a better life for them and for their families. I would do the same if I were in their situation. But also, the government should to control the frontiers and to let enter only the people who has a contract of job.

wow, good job. Let me give another perspective concernig immigration. Before we try to explain the reasons that make many people immigrate to europe and US we have to go back to the past and understand the origin of this problem. It began at the time when Portugal and England started to explore Africa and Asia during five ceturies. They took all resources such as gold and diamond and they also made the local population slave. Then in the 19th century they left that continents in a misery situation, without basic conditions. A huge poverty, many problems and divided tribes. That's why there're so many wars in Africa. So today, people are moving to europe and US because in their land its difficult to survive. There's no nothing.
