Firstly

This

leads to social isolation which has negative influences on their lives.

Secondly

may result in some illegal actions in the new country and make native people displeased.

For instance

, in Singapore, one of the cleanest countries in Asia, local residents will consider anyone dirty and ill-mannered if they litter the streets or spit gum in the public, and I think the

will have negative feelings if they receive

treatment. I believe the

can gain some benefits if they adapt to the new country’s

. One benefit is that if the

For example
