The movement of people between countries is known as immigration. Immigration is a manifestation of the right to free movement guaranteed by the Constitution as a civil right.Immigration has been in place since prehistoric times, but that of the modern era means a prolonged stay in a non-native country.Today people cross borders of their nation in search of better opportunities in education and careers. Many seek a business growth and migrate to other countries with the intention of making money. People migrate in search of a new lifestyle, a new experience and exposure to all that lies outside border of their country. Immigration can not be said to be advantageous can not be blamed entirely for its drawbacks. Let’s look at the pros and cons of immigration.

Pros of Immigration

At times, immigration is a person needs. In the case of personal reasons such as moving a family person, in the case of a marriage with someone abroad and in the case of the family must move to another nation, a person is forced to start from the country.Immigration laws governing the migration of people between the two countries easier, are of great help in such cases.

Immigration leads to an exchange of cultural values. It results in an exchange of knowledge and expertise between the two nations.Immigration serves as an opportunity to interact with people from other countries. It provides a platform for people with different backgrounds to come together and share their vision.

Immigration brings new opportunities for people of different countries. It reveals the people of one nation to the atmosphere of another country can be very different from one’s homeland.Immigration has resulted in gifting the knowledge of one nation to another, resulting in the creation of new areas of education and career options later.

Immigration leads to an open global market. It gives a global perspective to the social and economic development of society, thus broadening the horizons of development. Supporters of immigration believe that immigration has the potential to make a global prosperity.

Cons of Immigration

Overcrowding is one of the fundamental drawbacks of immigration.The migration of people from one country to another leads to repression in a nation. It involves an excessive use of the resources of a nation that can lead to a disruption of natural resources.

Immigrants can bring in diseases that prevailed in their country.Pathogens, viruses, and certain serious infections have a chance to be transferred between countries through immigrants. To reduce the risk of transmission of such diseases, many nations began to perform a screening of immigrants on their arrival. Reportedly, AIDS was transferred to the United States in 1969 through an infected immigrant from Haiti.

Those who argue against immigration, employment and prosperity of a nation’s property and that allowing immigration involves the distribution of these goods among non-natives. Immigration implies that the distribution of wealth of a nation to those not entitled to.

The cost for the provision of resources such as education and health care facilities to the immigrants are a burden on the nation of immigrants in large numbers of hosts. Critics say the economic growth resulting from immigration outweighed by the costs that the nation state must provide the immigrants with resources.

Less educated immigrants are believed to theft, violence and other crimes to increase in a country. The different types of people who migrate across national borders, the nations’ safety at risk. Illegal immigration has caused in some parts of the world has proved a curse to the nations’ economy and social welfare.

Ethics opposes immigration on grounds brain drain that results from it. What some call an exchange of expertise between nations can also be seen as a drain of knowledge from one country to another. When a nation loses the people of another nation, loses her talents. A poor country might end up donating his other skilled minority richer countries, thereby suffering a serious loss.

Thus we see that, while immigration may lead to an opportunity for a mix of cultures, it can also lead to an imbalance in natural wealth.Furthermore, patriotism be transferred?
