The Push Theory Of Illegal Immigrants

There has been a great number of illegal immigrants coming to the United States for years and it has always been a problem, until recent years, it has become a great concern. People might say that illegal immigrants have infiltrated this country and they seem to be taking over. In which, they have provided some theories of why people migrate from their homes into this country. In this paper, I shall be talking about the three main theories: push pull, structural and the transnational theory. Each theory provides a set of distinctions between them and the reasons why some people migrate. Next, I will provide why the push theory is the best theory that explains the migration.
The push theory “focuses on the “factors of expulsion” (push) and

Puerto Ricans were also working in the fields, the railroads and the factories. But, there was a difference between the Mexican migrants “(whether bracero or not)”(Fernandez 7) and the Manos a la Obra. The difference was that the Mexicans were labeled as “aliens,” while, the Puerto Ricans “came as residence of an American colonial possession and, therefore, as citizens as a result of the Insular Cases and the Jones Act of 1917”(Fernandez 8). That did not matter to either side of the immigrants because they both ended working here and staying in the U.S. This was simply a small risk that they were willing to take because they were hoping of escaping their old life and starting new in a different place. The best thing that they could receive was that their families were taken care of and they only had to work for the companies for a short period of time.

They were given a chance to try out a new country for a short period of time, even though they did not have a concrete place to live, it was mostly temporary they still felt that they were pulled to this country. All that was asked of them was to be able to work in certain fixed jobs and the company that brought them over would take over all of the other necessary cost to be

The immigrants believe that by migrating to a different country they have a better chance to succeed I life, they want to better themselves and their families. The three theories of why people migrate are great explanations to the situation. But, I think the theory that makes the most sense is the push pull theory. The push pull theory is the main idea of the other two theories; it seems to have information about the other theories. It provides an overall picture of why people migrate from their home. The push pull theory provides explanations of the factors that contribute to a person migrating to a different country. They all have their own situations that they are going through and their own motivates for wanting a better life. In the end, I think that’s what everybody wants, to just have a place you can call home and where you do not have to worry about not having bread on the table. That’s all they want to do. They want to provide them a better opportunity for a better
