Introduction
Immigration is the process of moving from a country of origin, where you would generally have citizenship, to a new country of residence. People often immigrated for a myriad of reasons, whether it is economic prosperity, to reunite with family, to seek more opportunity or in pursuit of a career, or to simply escape a horrible situation in their country of origin, such as a civil war, persecution or governmental/institutional failure and collapse. The latter kind of immigrant is known as a refugee, and there is often a specific immigration process designed for them, which involves a request for asylum and a fast-tracked immigration procedure. However, economic immigrants have to generally go through a much longer bureaucratic process, as attaining new citizenship is a drawn-out and arduous process with long wait times.
Immigration, and general migration, has been a staple in the human experience. From historic voyages across the world in search of trade routes, followed by the subsequent moving of people, and the eventual establishment of colonies. People throughout human history have migrated and currently we may encounter a new heightened level of immigration, for a variety of reasons, one being climate migrants, those who are moving away from the negative effects of climate change in search of areas which are more temperate.
The U.S. is currently the country with the largest amount of immigration. Historically, the U.S. has always claimed to be a nation of immigrants, counting them among its founding fathers, for example, Alexander Hamilton. Nowadays, people often immigrate to the U.S. in pursuit of the highly popularized “American dream”, where people hope to find success in business and settle down, melding into the local culture.
