Unit 9: Finding a Niche: The challenge for young inmigrants

Reality in the life of an immigrant

Many people leave their country seeking a better life or running from a past, being a very difficult decision but decide to start a new life in another country. This is a reality that exists around the world in many countries.

The life of an immigrant is not easy, since arriving to an unknown location where they often do not know anyone and start building a life is very difficult. Out of this, the population of many countries xenophobia and racism is presented, which instill a climate of hostility towards them and in many cases to the government of that country encourages reject. Most seek a good job to support their families in another country and give them a decent living condition, others flee to a mistake in the past and in many cases better fulfill a dream of living in that country.

The numbers of immigrants in recent years have risen sharply, and many countries have imposed a limited number of entry because the state finds it difficult to maintain public services without overwhelm. Thus far emigrant also has no medical insurance or anything to back them up to an incident, this being one of the consequences we suffer.

Thus the decision is often so difficult, you never know who is going to run into a person in life and I think that people who migrate are the same as each of us so we must treat them equally without rejections without ridicule.
