These roles include; developing migration policy, enforce migration policy and providing services for new arrivals. Developing migration policy involves the Federal Government deciding on the standards for migration to Australia. This includes the amount of immigrants allowed into Australia under the three topics, skilled, family and humanitarian, as seen in the Migration Act (1958). Enforcing migration policy includes the Federal Government developing laws that discourage and prevent people smuggling and making migration laws evident within Australia. This also includes the mandatory detention of asylum seekers and the decision as to whether they are genuine refugees seeking help. Providing services for new arrivals means the Federal Government provides a range of information in a range different languages, through translations and interpretations. English lessons and other services are also available in order to help new migrants in Australia settle. These are provided through state and local Governments. The Government also provides financial grants, accommodation and health services. It aims to assist the migrants so that they can participate as quickly and as fully as possible, to Australia, both economically and socially.

Some people may experience unemployment, racism, cultural differences, language barriers and lack of opportunities which can have a particularly bad effect on Australia itself. The country can also be left with gender imbalance, resource depletion, increased population leading to overcrowding as well as an increase in the cost of health and educational services. With an increase of population it also means more deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels which is very harmful for the environment. There may also be disagreements and terrorism between different religions and cultures as Australia has become very multicultural. When people migrate out of Australia it can also leave the country drained in money and work skills which can then lead to a poorer
This essay will discuss the issue of migration. Migration is movement by humans from one place to another. There are two types of migration, it is immigration and emigration. Immigration is movement by people into the country and emigration is movement by humans, who want to leave countries voluntary or involuntary.

During 1910-1970 the great migration was taking place, which was the movement of southern African American’s to the north/northern cities. The great migration was an event that seemed as if it was unstoppable and that it was going to happen. In the South African American’s faced racial discrimination, sharecropping, bad working conditions, low wages, racial segregation and political detriments. This is all supported by documents 1-4. The great migration was an event which helped improve the conditions for African Americans in America.
Migrants have been the heart of building Australia into a strong economy. Migrants in modern Australia create jobs and business opportunities and continue to add to the rich social and cultural fabric of Australian society. Business Skills migrants create on average six new jobs and invest millions of dollars into the economy. They have brought new ideas and new technology to the areas of medicine, science, information technology, mining, primary industry and business. Their familiarity with different cultures, languages and lifestyles as well as how overseas business works has helped local companies compete in Australia and overseas. The current Migration Program is balanced and targeted to meet our economic, environmental and international objectives.
Around War World II, a great population of working males in the north had to leave for war leaving an empty working market. African Americans in the south took this as an opportunity to escape their oppression. As a result, the Second Great Migration occurred, where thousands of black citizens took their families to the north to fill in the gaps where the working white males had left. In their relocation they faced systematic racism that still influences the way the modern-day inner city functions.
The Great Migration was a huge rural movement that occur in the southern United States, it was the movement of 6 million blacks. It began in the earlier 1900 all the way the 1970. The 14 states the blacks were moving from were from the south. The main states were Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. The first big movement was between the 1910 and 1930s. There was around a little bit over 1.5 million people moving from rural areas to the industrial cities in the north.
The Great Migration, a significant event in the history of the Black people of the country began in the first quarter of the 20th century, and lasted for nearly two quarters, ending in 1970s. This event is generally referred to the mass exodus of the Black people from the rural regions of the South to the urban regions of the North, West and Midwest. This event not only had a significant impact on the urban life of the country, but also forever altered the dynamics between the racially different populations in the American cities. This exodus was partly influenced by the discriminatory practices of the rural South, and the large scale requirement of industrial workers during the First World War. This led to a series of events, especially concerning
The progression of people into and within the United States has had an essential impact on the nation, both intentionally and unintentionally. Progressions such as The Great Migration and the Second Great Migration are examples of movements that impacted the United States greatly. During these movements, African Americans migrated to flee racism and prejudice in the South, as well as to inquire jobs in industrial cities. They were unable to escape racism, but they were able to infuse their culture into American society. During the twentieth century, economic and political problems led to movements such as The Great Migration and The Second Great Migration which impacted the United States significantly.
Migration is not just about arrival, but also departure and circulation’ (Raghuram and Erel, 2014, p. 150). Explain how different sorts of evidence in DD102 have been used to support this claim.
Migration is the spread of human beings from one location to another in hopes of staying there permanently. North America is a product of Migration being that the entire population once migrated here from other countries or continents. With this being said, all of the humans walking on North American soil has ancestors from another place on earth. Push and pull factors are the two different reasons for motivating a person(s) relocation, which is what drove many people to North America. Push factors are are the motivation to move people away from a location and pull factors are those that attract them to the new location. Globalization is a process that involves the mixing of people, corporations and governments of separate nations. Globalization is directly connected to migration because it is actually the beginning of the mixture of culture and religions many years ago.
The Great Migration started in 1910 and continued through 1930. It was a period in time which saw 1.6 million African Americans relocate from the southern states to the northern states(AAME). There are four main which contributed to this occurring. The first was better and more skilled job opportunities available in the north. Many blacks were not allowed to work or hold high paying jobs in the South. The second was the oppression of African Americans in the South. They were treated very poorly and were often victims of racism and crime at a much higher rate than in the Northern states. The third was they wanted to have the right to vote. The Jim Crow laws restricted African Americans from basic rights including voting, in the South, while
Immigration is an important feature of Australian society. Since 1945, over six million people from 200 countries have come to Australia as new settlers. Migrants have made a major contribution to shaping modern Australia. People born overseas make up almost one quarter of the total population. About its ethics distribution, aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people totaled 410 003 at the last census, nearly 2.2 per cent of the population. Two thirds of the indigenous people live in towns and cities. Many others live in rural and remote areas, and some still have a broadly traditional way of life.(Ning)

Any any given time, an estimate of 2.5 million individuals are in one or more forms of forced labour, including sexual exploitation. While, the majority of victims are typically 18-24 years of age, 1.2 million children are trafficked every year. Moreover, victims are trafficked from 127 countries and exploited in 137 (Chibba, 2014).

Accordingly, some individuals migrate by choice, while, some out of necessity, or some though forced migration. as a result of poverty, conflict and or disasters. Thus, those who are forced to migrate are vulnerable and at risk of being tricked, kidnapped
This process is called urbanisation, where a group of migrants will move from a rural area with less opportunities to a more populated area where they could find more opportunities, and to have a better living. Migrants can also do this between countries and states rather than within their own country or state, as they may find an opportunity another country or state offers that they can’t find within their own country or state. Migrants having a change of lifestyle, coming from a rural area to a more urban area, will have to get used to and assimilate to their new way of living. Reasons why a migrants would migrate to areas like Wellington, New Zealand for example, could be because the level of education they’re seeking in Victoria university is amongst the best institutes around the world has to offer. Maybe they are captivated by the level of lifestyle wellington has to offer.
