Immigration

            This is the worldwide movement of people from their original originating region to another destination region mainly another country where they are not citizens. Majorly, this occurs when those people who are moving, cross the borders and it can occur in two ways, that is when people may move into another country hence they are referred to as immigrants while those who are moving out of their country’s boards are referred to as the emigrants. The push factors are responsible for driving out the people from their native country as they are pulled to the destination country (Hajnal et al 2014). Immigration is quite evident in the recent times especially in the United States. Racial discrimination is one of the push factors that may drive some of the people to move out from their country to another country which has no racial discrimination. America for instance is one of the states that are being affected by racism due to the recent immigration of immigrants into their country that has caused increase in diversity.  Racial diversity as a result of immigration influence, affects the political identities and the preferences of voting.  Most of the citizens have negative attitude towards immigration as they consider immigrants as a burden to their nation (Hajnal et al 2014).

            In conclusion, it is important to note that immigration is not perceived well especially when people from other countries come to other people’s country. This causes the natives to develop a negative and poor attitude towards the immigrants as they view them as threats since they compete for resources with the natives and this result to the racial discrimination. In carrying out of racism by the natives, the immigrants have high chances of feeling uncomfortable hence they may decide to move out to another country or even back to their country.
