There are many reasons why people migrate. Violence, Persecutions economic and political instability and environmental issues are some migration push factors. Also the motivation for new opportunities, jobs, education, living, political freedom, are some pull factors of migration.

Multicultural societies are an effect of migration. Countries that have had and still have a lot of migration such as the U.S, are multicultural societies. Some states more than others, such as Florida and Los Angeles.

Now days there are strict laws on migration. It is one of the main concerns of governments.

Characterize one country and its main immigrants; describe the types of labor they perform and the living conditions of them.

The U. S is a multicultural country due to the great deal of immigrants it has. There are many Mexicans, Colombians, Cubans and many other Latin Americans. They often work as gardeners, waiters, cooks, construction, mining, in fields. Their living conditions are usually poor although they do better than in their native countries. Illegal immigrants often struggle because they are constantly aware of getting caught by the police. They perform hand work or “blue collar labor”. There is also a lot of Chinese and other Asian cultures, who commonly work things regarding technology. Their living conditions are normally good. These last ones are mostly legal immigrants so they don’t struggle as much as Latin Americans do.
