Immigrants

Today in human geography class on December 7th, we continued to take notes off the migration powerpoint and we talked about the Mexican border and a lot about how trump was going to build a wall to keep the immigrants out from coming in the country illegally and instead you have to actually cross the border and get permission to enter the country. The notes we took today were the view from the United States recognizes motives that compel unauthorized immigrants to enter illegally are employment, family reunification, and a better way of life. The view from Mexico is residents of southern Mexico are less tolerant because numbers of unauthorized immigrants entering Mexico from Guatemala. Immigration concerns in the U.S. are border control because they would like more effective border control, but they don't want to spend more money.Workplace most recognizes that unauthorized immigrants take jobs from U.S. citizens but they understand most citizens would not take those jobs.  So they support a path to the U.S. citizenship for these unauthorized immigrants.  The Europe population growth is fueled by immigration from other regions of the world, which is a trend disliked by many Europeans.  The biggest fear is that the host country's culture would be lost because immigrants adhere to different religions, speak different languages, practice different food and cultural habits.  Hostility to immigrants has become a central plank of some political parties in many European countries.  Most immigrants are blamed for crime, unemployment rates and high welfare costs.  Europe was the source of most emigrants in the 19th century. Indo-European languages are now spoken by over half the world.  Christianity has the world's largest number of adherents. When traveling to the U.S. to illegally pass the border or go the right way, most long distance travelers are males and most are adult individuals who are seeing work.
