Why do we immigrate?

Why do people immigrate? Is it to explore the wonders of different countries around the globe? Is it to have a fresh start? Are they in search of new opportunities? Or are they escaping their past? All of these possibilities are true in the cases of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Countries with a stable economy like the United States, Germany and the UK provide safe ground to start a new life in, where nobody knows you or your past. This is just what many people with bad history, and a troubled past strive for which motivates them to leave their homeland and immigrate to a new destination. Also, these big, powerful countries provide a wide range of opportunities for those in search of them like jobs, acquaintances and life experience. 

The countries that have high rates of immigrants coming in ask themselves why must they accept these people into their country. They should be forgiving of these people since some of them are refugees, having no other choice but to pack up and leave their home and come to a country where they are most likely unwelcome. Immigrants provide many advantages to these countries. These people are willing to do job that citizens of that country are not willing to do and they do the work for a lower pay, therefor helping to boost the economy. Immigrants also add diversity to the society which creates tolerance and sympathy to these people, as well as a better understanding of the advantages of diverse cultures.
