Root Causes Of The Migrant Crisis

Shawn Pogatchnik shows how important the fact that so many migrants are trying to flee to Germany and other EU countries by using statistics. Pogatchnik states that the EU countries “...has seen more than 332,000 migrants enter so far this year.” He also says that Germany “...is expecting to take in 800,000 migrants in this year.” When people read the article, they realize that what is going on must be bad enough for hundreds of thousands of people to want to flee their own country to enter another European country.

Thousands and thousands of migrants have begun to flood into the European countries. With immigration numbers higher than ever, these countries have begun to search for solutions. Some countries have considered closing their borders , many are beginning to show violence to keep people out. As always, there is a much better solution other than using violence. The Europe Migration Policy needs to be adjusted to current needs and these countries need to work together to create better opportunities for the immigrants and refugees seeking safety.

Immigration is not always a perfect journey. Many immigrants decide to come here seeking better work opportunities, happiness and freedom. Many of them dream of living in the Promised Land and many times that dream comes true. And the other times, reality becomes way more different than the dream. Every year there are hundreds of deaths along the Mexico the United States border for those who try to cross the border without authorization. And the number of border crossing deaths increases every year. Causes of these deaths include, heat strokes, dehydration and hyperthermia. Many Americans are frustrated with the immigration in the United States and many are against it. Immigrants are often accused of taking jobs away from actual Americans,

For decades, some Americans have wanted to believe that immigrants are the cause and effect of many problems that has happened in America. They have came up with many accusations to try to convince others that immigrants pose a threat to the physical, the social and the economic welfare of natives. They have wanted others to believe immigration causes harm towards America's economy, market wages, and the high unemployment rates for natives. But in reality immigrants do not “take American jobs” and, in fact, has convinced many researchers that immigrants has promoted economic growth over the years (The Conversation).

Immigration policy has become a major issue severely debated amongst Americans, political leaders and policy makers. Many have written articles about the causes and effects of illegal and legal immigration. This section focuses on local and scholarly information about the problem. The examination of the various literatures could expose major issues and better methods available that may assist the passage of the current immigration Bill before the Congress.

If no one takes responsibility for this crisis, it will likely never truly be solved, but it is such a multi-faceted event that it is hard to know which approach would work. Some believe that “destroying the smugglers’ boats would enable EU countries to destruct the lucrative business models of the networks,” but this approach also “could result in unwanted loss of life”(Coleman 1). In the same vein, other ideas that have been discussed include sending the boats back to where they came from, boosting navy patrols, or simply allowing them to continue coming the way they have been. All of these thoughts come with their own major problems, such as “injecting [the refugees] straight back into the danger that they’ve fled,” more pirate attacks on naval patrols, or controversial facilitation plans for future migration, respectively (Coleman 2-3). But however they wish to attack the problem, we must agree that “‘this is a humanitarian emergency that involves us all and responses to it must be more holistic,’” as said by Federico Soda, of the IOM (Maguire et al). Perhaps stopping the problems at the source would be preferable, but with the instability and civil wars continuing in both Africa and the Middle East, that solution doesn’t appear to be in the near future. Therefore, this leaves the EU to sort out the dangerous transportation and humanitarian efforts for the migrants by itself, if its countries can manage to work

According to the 2013 Annual Risk Analysis of Frontex, the EU’s agency for cooperation at the external borders, illegal border-crossing has dropped by a staggering 49% in 2012 due to the stricter controls and surveillance system implemented between Greece and Turkey. This, however, came at a price as extreme cases of human rights violations in the area have been reported. Many recount that in Greece there is no support available from NGOs, charities or public services for illegal immigrants who therefore often resort to further unlawful activities. At the same time, many immigrants are now intimidated by Greek extreme right party Golden Dawn and their instigating propaganda against those who cross the border despite few of them considering Greece more than merely a transition point.

However, the recent resolution in the EU is not enough. There is still a massive amount of work to be done in the long term and from the European side of things there are several courses of action to take. From Italy’s point of view, the circumstances are an urgent problem. Italy does not know what to do with all the unemployed immigrants who land on Sicily’s shores because in the demographic these newly arrived young men fall under, there is 40% national unemployment. Those people are piling up in detention centers waiting to be processed, rendering an entire workforce useless. Due to this, amendments have been proposed for the Dublin Regulations so that immigrants can apply for asylum in countries other than the ones they land in. Like the

Immigrants are not the issue, education is. Although many American born citizens receive great opportunities of education many do not take them. On the other hand, immigrants come from a low opportunity background since most of the teen’s parents did not have the opportunity to get an education this makes immigrant students strive and have an increased motivation than most. In the next decade the immigrant population will increase by 20% which means economic expansion. More people the more money, leading to economic growth.

There is a huge migrant crisis called the European migrant crisis, the situation is intensifying and getting worse so the us is trying to decide whether or not to allow more Syrians to come to the united states and settle here. other countries like Sweden and Germany offered to also take some of the migrants. Another consideration by thr US is that it would be a good idea to start refugee settlements. currently the united states limited the amount of migrants to 1,500 a year, only a small portion of the thousands who have left the war torn country. Human rights activists and critics have said that the united states has not done enough to end the violence that has made the Syrians flee out of the country. On Sunday, pope Francis called catholic

We now live in a society that has resorted to associating a specific importance and value to one issue it faces. We tend to differentiate between what effects “us” and what challenges “they” face. The “us vs them” notion may not seem as much of an issue, but in fact it has completely rejected the concept of a Global world which we have been yearning for. We have been programmed, gradually of course, to only look out for problems that may affect us. Economic depression hit the Eurozone and instantly the crisis, for obvious reasons, became a matter of life death. It had to be resolved. But in the struggle to resolve issues like these we had almost forgotten about one of the “them” issues that directly effected “us”: Influx of immigrants from

Some people are trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea and pay the smugglers a lot just to drift with hundreds of other people on a rubber raft. Many times it goes horribly wrong and the boat sinks. On some of the boats they have a basement where also refugees are locked in, so when the boat does sink they cant get out and don't have a chance. This is why so many people drown. The Mediterranean Sea is a wild one, The Italians are there with a big Navy ship to protect or catch the refugees before they drown.

Imagine you are an immigrant who just arrived in America. You have almost no money and the only people you know in a thousand mile radius are part of your family. You have to find a source of income, a place to live, and do so many more things to get yourself on your feet. We have learned from the four pieces that, when immigrants in the real world migrate to America they face challenges and have to adjust to them.

The important underlining problem is the fact that these migrants are arriving and staying in Italy and Greece. Both Italy and Greece are going through an economic crisis that cannot sustain the migrants that are landing within their borders; they are asking the European Union to give them relief, by imposing quotas to redistribute the migrants to other European nations that are a part of the migration policy. The migrant crisis also brings insecurity to nations such as Italy and Greece because of they are not prepared to deal with the amount of people entering in their borders. Not all European countries

In the globalized world of today, the way the systems of the planet operate could be described as ebbs and flows, because there is no end point and no isolated system. Whether it is the global economy or pattern of weather, there is always a widespread exchange of interactions and ripple effects. One such example is migration, which is simply a flow of what earth has an abundance of: humans. That is the subject of this investigation, specifically migration in the Mediterranean region, an area of the world so flooded with immigrants and refugees that it is in crisis.
