First,immigrants make contribution to the country's economic growth.Many immigrants are manual labour workers in the construction industries,catering and domestic services,They can take the job that most citizens in the host country do not want to.Besides,as the world is in an economic recession,many companies want to keep down labour costs,the immigrants can be uesd as cheap labour.In addition,some immigrants are highly skilled in some special fields.But their wages are not so high as the technicians in the host country.So they contribute to a lower price and additional profits for the company.
Second,immigration brings an exchange of culture.It includes knowledge,values and experience's exchange and gives an opportunity for people from different backgrounds to get together and share their opinions with each other
Of course,immigration also brings some problems to the host country.For example,overcrowding is a serious problem which brought by immigrants.Many citizens complain about the traffic jams and crowd shopping malls;There also seem to be a communication gap between the natives and immigrants;Critics claim that immigrants take on jobs which should be given to the original natives;Some people relate the increased rate of crime to immigrants.
Throughout the history,immigrants have contributed to making many countries more thriving and vigorous.I believe that through a well-designed system and the cooperation between countries ,the immigrants would have a bright future.
