Until now, many are confused as to why people take the risks of migrating to well-off countries. It’s a natural tendency for less fortunate people to be attracted to a place where all the conveniences and opportunities abound. If people from Mexico risk their lives and limbs to cross the border, it’s because they don’t see any hope in their country.
This pattern is the same in some parts of Asia, where millions of people, especially professionals and skilled workers, have already immigrated to advanced countries. Consequently, the shortage of manpower is being felt in some developing countries. Blame it on the rampant poverty that abounds in most of Asia and Africa. Migrants would rather die crossing the rough seas than die with hunger in their countries, whose politicians are the only ones making better lives through graft and corruption.
There’s nothing wrong if people would be ambitious enough to improve their lives than to wait for nothing from governments that couldn’t provide enough to satisfy the much basic services for the people. And so the answer is international migration. When people become hopeless in their home turf, there is no alternative but to be courageous enough to bank their luck elsewhere. It’s only fitting that legislators should understand the meaning why people migrate. It is as simple as that.
