Immigration Opportunities

I consider immigration as a great instrument of progress and success when you do not have enough access to opportunities in your country of origin. Sometimes it is necessary to look for other alternatives in order to achieve personal, familiar and professional goals. In the first case (personal achievement), a person can obtain better experiences in another country with different traditions and cultures and at the same time, can explore new environments that facilitates the development of itself as an individual. In the second case, there are situations in which become better to go outside of our country with the motivation of giving life quality to our families and sometimes start a new live from zero. This is the case of some groups that are obliged to leave because of the pressure generated by the violence and unemployment or because they were displaced of their own homes. Finally, in the ambit of the professional development, immigration appear as a good way of acquire new knowledge, access to job opportunities and learn techniques for the ulterior implementation in the country of origin.

Additionally, it is important to say that immigration does not imply the impossibility of return; a person or a group of individuals can decide to go abroad just for a period of time, take advantage of the opportunity that this new place offers and then go back to the place of birth. In this process, governments should play an active role establishing adequate policies that allow and integrate the new people getting into their societies.
