Problems with Immigration
Problematic Aspects of Emigration to Emigrants and the Host Country
Emigrants move from their home nations to begin a new life in another, yet once they reach their host countries, they face challenges that they never anticipated. More often than not, many of these emigrants have endured hardships of all forms in their home nations, but most of them are treated to a surprise when they realize that what awaits them in their new home nation is far much worse than what they are running from (Dalla, 2009). Consequently, emigrants pose some challenges to their host countries. This paper discusses two aspects that could be problematic to an emigrant as well as those that can be problematic to the host country.
To start with, emigrants are bound to be surrounded by a myriad of legal problems. According to Dalla (2009) emigrants do not enjoy the full benefits of law compared to their native counterparts. For instance, if an emigrant losses their job, they may not be able to claim benefits. This is because emigrants are associated with odd jobs. In addition, they are bound to face the challenge of always having to look over their shoulders owing to the long time they have to wait to be eligible. In the U.S for instance, refugees have to wait for ninety days before they can access healthcare services (Dalla, 2009).
Secondly, there is the aspect of social support. Social interaction is crucial part of fitting into a new society, and its absence implies a feeling of isolation, discrimination or even worse, depression. This aspect is more problematic, especially to emigrants that migrate to a new country without close friends or family members. With neither close friends nor family members to direct them around, they are likely to feel isolated, and lack social support as newcomers (Dalla, 2009). Consequently, they lack networks necessary to fit into the job market, and they opt for odd jobs.
