Causes+Of+Illegal+Immigration

= = =     **Illegal immigration can often be associated with push and pull factors. Push factors refer to the motive of immigration from the native land. For economic reasons, emigration occurs due to the fact that a better wage can be obtained in the new country. People from less developed foreign lands will now experience significantly more opportunities as they are entering a new promised land or region. This is often associated with the rags to riches theory. As there are many pull factors there are push factors to weigh in as well. The cost that can be both physical and intangible contribute vastly to the pull factors. As an example, explicit costs such as ticket price and implicit that consists of loss of work time and community ties, also play an overwhelming role in the pull of emigrants away from their native country. However in most cases the pull factors and desperate desires to create a better life can over weigh and restraints, boundaries or pull factors one may encounter.**   **- Megan**   - - Nm       = = = = = = =
