Nowadays, many people decide to migrate to have a better life.
Employment opportunities are the most common reason due to
paid at the end which people migrate. Except this, lack of
opportunities, better education, construction of
dams, globalization, natural disaster (flood and drought) and
sometimes crop failure forced villagers to migrate to cities.
Most of the times migrants people are not skilled or educated
therefore they usually employed as daily wagers (workers who are of
each day, for their services). Daily wagers do not get
enough money for the survival of their families and suffering from
many problems such as they do not have enough food to eat,
sanitation, hygiene, a proper place to live etc.
Positive Impact
Unemployment is reduced and people get better job
opportunities.
Migration helps in improving the quality of life of people.
It helps to improve social life of people as they learn about
new culture, customs, and languages which helps to improve
brotherhood among people.
Migration of skilled workers leads to a greater economic
growth of the region.
Children get better opportunities for higher education.
The population density is reduced and the birth rate
decreases.
Negative Impact
The loss of a person from rural areas, impact on the level of
output and development of rural areas.
The influx of workers in urban areas increases competition
for the job, houses, school facilities etc.
Having large population puts too much pressure on natural
resources, amenities and services.
It is difficult for a villager to survive in urban areas because
in urban areas there is no natural environment and pure air.
They have to pay for each and everything.
Migration changes the population of a place, therefore, the
distribution of the population is uneven in India.
Many migrants are completely illiterate and uneducated,
therefore, they are not only unfit for most jobs, but also lack
basic knowledge and life skills.
In addition, illegal immigration is also undermining the rule of
law, threatening regional cooperation, challenging law
enforcement agencies, eroding public support for legal
migration, altering political equilibrium and adding to nativism
and xenophobia.
It can have serious impacts on the economy of the destination
country as well as on the lives of the illegal migrants
themselves. Illegal immigration is the movement of foreign
nationals into a country without requisite legal documents or in
any way that flouts the destination country’s immigration laws.
You will be termed as an illegal migrant. So, Illegal immigration
is the movement of foreign nationals into a country without
requisite legal documents or in any way that flouts the
destination country’s immigration laws. Illegal immigration can
occur for a number of reasons, and its effects are wide-ranging .
When you move across borders from your country to
another country, you need to have certain legal
documents and follow defined immigration laws of
the destination country.
If you move into the country without the necessary
legal documents or violates the immigration laws,
then you will have committed illegal immigration. You
will be termed as an illegal migrant.
So, Illegal immigration is the movement of foreign

Illegal immigration can occur for a number of
reasons, and its effects are wide-ranging.
Past events have shown that increases in poverty, particularly
when associated with ongoing crises, can raise the likelihood
of illegal immigration. A good example is the 1994 economic
crisis after the establishment of the North American Free
Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ).
Fast Facts
Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students cost
taxpayers approximately $60 billion annually.
According to a 2018 Center for Immigration Studies
analysis, in 2014, 63 percent of households headed
by a non-citizen reported that they used at least one
welfare program, compared to 35 percent of native-
headed households.
In addition, compared to native households, non-
citizen households have much higher use of food
programs (45 percent vs. 21 percent for natives) and
Medicaid (50 percent vs. 23 percent for natives).
There are currently an estimated 4.8 million
American-born children of illegal aliens in the U.S.
Because of our erroneous interpretation of the
Fourteenth Amendment, they all received automatic
birthright U.S. citizenship.
Mass immigration is not a panacea to save Social
Security. Because of “chain migration,” immigrants
can sponsor numerous relatives, some of whom are
already elderly. In addition, immigrants grow older
just like Americans do. Rather than rejuvenating our
workforce, mass immigration and “chain migration”
are more likely to further overburden the system.
Illegal immigration is a fiscal burden on taxpayers. Mass
immigration jams schools, hospitals and highways. The
education of the children of illegal immigrants costs taxpayers
millions of dollars annually. Emergency medical
expenditures and incarceration costs of illegal aliens
add up too.
In addition, taxpayers must bear the full costs of the
administration of justice, e.g., policing, processing, trials,
interpreters, medical expenses and other
incarceration costs.
Welfare benefits paid to the children of illegal aliens and
other services such as assisted housing add a further burden
on public outlays.
Yet another societal impact from illegal immigration is in
crowded housing, and related problems of safety, hygiene, and
issues that impact on property values.
Ultimately, illegal immigration generates insecurity about
America’s borders, carries economic and fiscal costs, and
risks the creation of an isolated underclass, and generates
disturbing social and cultural tensions
