In Khalid Koser’s novel International Migration, he discussed that there are “many reasons why women comprise an increasing proportion of the world’s migrants. One is that the demand for foreign labour… second, an increasing number of countries have extended the right of family reunion to migrants – in other words allowing them to be joined by their spouses and children” (Pg 7). In a view, this quote struck me because I know that people always think the grass is greener on the other side, and they have dreams that maybe they can't achieve in their homeland. As a result, many immigrants left their homelands because they felt that a better life was waiting for them in another country like Canada and United States. Also, some had lost their homes to disasters such as floods and earthquakes. Others left because there was not enough food.
I'm in favor of immigration. The more the merrier, I say. When there isn't work for immigrants, they will stop coming. Likewise, one of the things that tells me that our economy is not in as bad a shape as some would tell is that immigrants continue to pour into Canada or into the United States. They all want a job, and nearly all find one. Within a short few years, most immigrants are an economic benefit to the Canada and United States. However, the immigration problem isn't that we have them. It's that the Government can't seem to find a way to sort out the few that come here to commit crimes. From the very beginning, immigration quotas have been a way to maintain racial or ethnic purity, and they still are today. Illegal immigrants are illegal primarily because of their ethnic background. We should be welcoming all who want to work, and sorting out the criminals. Instead, our system sends home the job seekers, and gives the criminals chance after chance to remain because of their rights in a criminal proceeding.
