Immigration

Immigration is the process by which individuals move from one country to another with the intention of residing permanently or temporarily. This movement can be motivated by various factors, including economic opportunities, family reunification, education, political asylum, or escaping conflict and persecution. Immigration impacts both the individuals who migrate and the communities they join, influencing economic systems, cultural exchanges, and demographic changes. It often involves legal frameworks, including visas, residency permits, and naturalization processes, which regulate the entry and status of immigrants within a host country. The term can also encompass discussions about refugee status, undocumented migrants, and the various policies that govern these movements.
