Immigration is an act referring to a movement or permanent shifting of a person, mostly along with their families, to another country. Reasons behind this act vary along a general pattern because people migrating to another country either because they want to run away or to look for a better way of life that they were previously used to. Whatever the reason maybe it’s a very common phenomena and like other things it affects the society and helps it to mould and shape.
United States of America is a country which accepts the most immigrants in the world. People coming to live in U.S are usually from third world countries looking for employment, money and a better way of life.

This immigration factor has got many other benefits like improving the employment and wage rate and thus improving the economy of the region and country. Also having multicultural people in the society helps to understand the culture of other countries across the globe.

However along with its numerous advantages the disadvantages have to be highlighted as well. But the analysis of immigration is dependent on the perception of common people. Where some see it as a nuance others see it as a chance and a golden opportunity.
