Immigration has a major impact on society. What are the main reasons of immigration? To what consequences can it lead?

The

last

few years have witnessed an increasing number of immigrants in some developed nations. There is little room for doubt that

this

trend

could exert many profound effects on society as a whole.

This

essay will examine the reasons as well as the consequences

this

trend

may lead.

To begin

with, there remain two main factors attributing to

this

trend

.

Firstly

, the strong desire for a better life quality might make people migrate.

In other words

, many people from so-called

therefore

, higher income.

Additionally

, living in a wealthy country implies living in a country with

the refugees

who arrived in the European Union,

, were escaping from wars and expected to live in a safe and secure place by migrating.

However

, I believe that

could lead to many negative consequences for both immigrants and their countries of destination. From

an inadequacy in language skills and difficulties in adaptation.

In addition

, not all of the refugees receive proper asylum, food and medical care, which leads to the fact of being at risk even crossing the border. From the host nations’ perspective, they have to run various refugee assistance programs to help those people who lack of language skills and are being unemployed, which might pose challenges in accelerating economic growth of the host nations.

Furthermore

, the disproportionate burden of maintaining the immigrants would lead to tension in society. To conclude, I hold the belief that the desire for better life prospects and safe future drives people to migrate.

However

seems to bring many negative effects for society as a whole.
