The Other Side Of Immigration

For those moving to Australian, migration into the country is often thought to be the best way to have a better life. Indeed Australia has long been considered as one of the best countries to move in by a lot of people. However, as it turns out, this is not always the case for those arriving in the land down under.

While a lot of immigrants moving into the country do end up having a good, if not better, life, there are also some who end up not be quite as successful. And then there are those that end up in a much worse situation. Thus, a lot of concerned groups are urging for the Australian government to take action on the issue.

Perhaps the group that has gone through such a situation the most are those who have arrived into Australia in less than legal means. Refugees are probably the largest that belong to these groups. Because a lot of them are forced to move out of their homelands, they often have no time to prepare the necessary documents that they need to enter the country. Thus, they have no choice but to make use of not so legal means to enter the country

Because of their situation, they often fall prey to many unscrupulous groups and individuals. It is not uncommon to here of refugees being exploited by syndicates for their own purposes. Often, many of them can not do anything for fear that these individuals would hand them to the authorities. In some cases, there are even much worse instances.

However, it is not only illegals immigrants that face such a problem. Currently, there is a growing problem of many legitimate migrants that are having trouble moving into the country. Often these are those who are not able to Australia's lifestyle. There are also those who are not able to find a suitable job during their stay.

One particular case is that of New Zealanders who are forced to beg around the streets in the major cities. It is interesting to note that Australia and New Zealand share a close relationship together. Thus, it is not surprising that a lot of Kiwis are actually moving here. However, not all of them are able to secure a better life in the country and end up in a dire situation.

Because of these a lot of groups have urged the government to either provide for the welfare of these people or help them in going back to their home countries. In response, the government has said that they have various programs aimed at improving the welfare of these immigrants.
