Walker's Theory Of Immigration

Immigration or migration is the movement of creatures whether animals, birds or humans from one place or region to the other seeking various purposes. This movement has been going on since humanity’s break of dawn and traces back to the mass immigration of humans’ ancestor from Africa to the Middle East and other parts of the world. According to the guardian newspaper, the United Nations estimated that there were 91 million international immigrants in 2005, which makes almost 3% of the entire world’s population. In 2013 immigrants’ number inflated to make almost 232 million international immigrants. United Arab Emirates has the largest rate of immigrations followed by Qatar (the guardian). Usually immigration is processed legally through international

Walker’s theory of immigration confined immigration to two main purposes which are sentimental or economic causes, resulting in the increase of foreign elements and a distinctive decline in the native element of the country, also leading to an increase of the total population, (Goldenweiser, walker’s theory). Further understanding of Walker’s theory results in acknowledgment of the fact that immigrants usually seek economic prosperity, to better their life standards, to escape from prejudices and conflicts seeking safety. Immigration is controlled by laws set both internationally and nationally separately. Treatment of immigration has been under critical observation after the massive increase in the numbers of international immigrants. Ongoing debates have been on arguing over the rights of immigrants.

Rebecca Raijman in her ‘’Gender, Ethnicity and Immigration’’, she clarifies that different ethnicities presence in a region has led to the heterogeneity of the society and cultural development, she also states that ‘’the effect of ethnicity, however, diminishes and become negligible with the passage of time’’ (Raijman, Gender, Ethnicity). On the other hand according to Professor Majid explains the disadvantage of ethnic immigration where he states that ‘’immigration is the result of ethnic conflict in the home country, and at the same time a catalyst for other ethnic conflicts in the host society’’ he
