Immigration

Immigration refers to the process by which individuals move from one country or region to another with the intention of settling there, either temporarily or permanently. This movement can be motivated by various factors, including economic opportunities, political asylum, family reunification, education, or escaping conflict and persecution. Immigration is a significant aspect of global demographics and can impact both the host and home countries. It encompasses a range of legal and illegal activities and is often governed by policies that dictate who may enter the country, under what conditions, and for how long. Immigration can lead to cultural exchange, economic growth, and diversification of societies, but it can also spark debates around social integration, identity, and national security.
