Immigration refers to the process of people moving from one country to another to live permanently or temporarily. Many immigrants seek better opportunities, such as jobs, education, or safety from conflict. For example, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, millions of people came to the United States from Europe, escaping poverty and seeking a better life. Upon arriving, they often settled in cities, contributing to the economy and culture. Immigration laws vary by country; some nations have strict regulations, while others welcome newcomers. The process usually involves applying for visas, which allow individuals to enter and stay in a country legally. Understanding immigration helps us learn about the diverse cultures and experiences that shape our societies today.
