Abstract
This paper discusses how Spain?s traditional role has always been the exporter of migrants, first to the Americas, and later to Western European countries after World War II. It looks at how, during the 1960s, wealthy retired citizens from Northern Europe began to arrive and how, during the last two decades, Spain has seen a new phenomenon involving large numbers of migrant workers from Europe and peripheral countries who seek work and economic opportunities. It explores how these migrant workers are typically filling the jobs rejected by the natives of Spain and are, therefore, filling a sector of Spain's economy.
From the Paper
"While much of Costa del Sol is inhabited by wealthy northern Europeans residing in villas, apartments and hotel chains, east of Malaga, the flatlands of Almeria are rich from intensive agriculture, made possible by the large number of immigrants (Simons 2000). In fact, much of the winter fruits and vegetables supplied to Europe come from the more than ten thousand hothouses that have sprung up here (Simons 2000). ?A floating population of perhaps as many as 100,000 laborers, most Moroccan, pick the tomatoes, strawberries and eggplants or move with the seasons to harvest olives and oranges around Andalusia? (Simons 2000). Most have crossed the Mediterranean in rickety boats, (much like those who cross from Cuba to Florida) to make about $25 a day, about four times what they can make at home (Simons 2000)."

Abstract
This paper describes the different aspects of illegal migration from Morocco to Europe. From the paper, the reader gets an idea about illegally crossing the Mediterranean sea. The paper includes a comparison of a specific case with illegal migration in general. The author takes a very personal tone in the paper, writing from the first person.
From the Paper
" During the last decade, illegal migration has become an important issue in Morocco. Today, wanting to leave the country in order to look for a better future in Europe is very present in almost every Moroccan family. It has such a big influence in our society that people have given a special name to it, ?lhrig.? This word has a lot of significance and gives a lot of hope for some young Moroccans, who expect to find in Europe wealth and success. The bad economic situation of Morocco is probably one the most important reasons of this inevitable phenomenon. Migrating illegally is a very difficult task, full of dangers; the risks and negative consequences are most of the time underestimated."

Abstract
This paper examines the impact that the automobile industry's southward migration has had on the northern and eastern states, which have been the traditional sources of labor and manufacturing for the automobile industry. The paper explains how the industry's relocation to southern states is threatening the economic future of the states it is leaving.
From the Paper
"When moving was not an option, the automobile industry was constantly closing plants and laying off employees to help balance the books. As recently as 1990's, companies needed to use solutions like labor force reduction to cut the associated cost of labor. This strategy was a always a resource nightmare as 'getting laid off' or 'getting downsized' became all too common buzz words. The automobile industry has found a viable alternative to moving abroad or shutting down facilities."

China's Migration, 2005.
This paper discusses China's inward migration to international migration in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 9 sources, £ 55.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that inward and international migrations are very close in their motivations for Chinese citizens to seek employment for better economic conditions. The writer discusses that by the massive influx of rural workers coming into China's big cities, there is an obvious demand for workers that will become the new Chinese urban working classes. The writer points out that essentially, China has become a growing power that has released its tight grip on insular Communist policy in global economies, making it possible for an industrial complex to be created outside of the mostly rural farming classes of the 20th century.
From the Paper
"This migration study examines the inward and international aspects of migration that have been steadily growing over the past one hundred years and into modern times. By realizing the differing aspects of economic issues, which have caused many Chinese to migrate internationally, the inward migratory patterns in Chinese society are equally progressive. In seeking greater wealth in foreign lands due to lack of jobs and economic opportunity, International migration often portends a lesser trend in migration in China, and ultimately, inward migration has become a rising trend due to labor and economic values in modern rural China."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the National Museum's Field to Factory exhibit, and the Great Migration from the years 1915-1940. It discusses the social elements that existed in the lives of southern African Americans and their reasons to migrate by the thousands to northern lands. The writer further looks at the effects of this migration on the United States, making use of 3 sources of supporting information.
From the Paper
"A remarkable statement on the social history of the United States, the Field to Factory Exhibit at the National Museum of American History offers the viewer the opportunity to step briefly back in time and experience elements from the Great Migration of an American people. This period, (1915-1940) is an important span of time for the entire world to consider. While we are taught about the Civil War, slavery, and the Civil Rights Movement, we often fail to comprehend the significant changes that took place in the United States because of the courage of a race that refused to be enslaved forever. This exhibit speaks, through visual and audio means, about the lives of the African American people in the south, during their migration north, and presents evidence about their new lives in the northern United States."

Abstract
This paper examines how neoplastic cells have a wide range of mechanisms available to them in the process of metastasis and invasion and how such techniques include both individual cell movement and collective cell migration strategies. It also looks at how the ability for cancer cells to modify their migration mechanisms has resulted in a significant decrease in efficacy of anti cancer therapeutics designed against target adhesion receptors and proteases.

From the Paper
"The cell migration is a universal process in metastasis which involves many different mechanisms depending upon tissue environments and cell types. Broadly these cell movement patterns may be classified as single cell migration - amoeboid and mesenchymal - or collective migration - cell strands, sheets and clusters. A number of key molecular determinants are associated with cell movement strategies, such as the specific structure of the actin cytoskeleton (Cramer, 1999), the expression of integrins, matrix metalloproteinases and serine proteases (matrix-degrading enzymes) (Friedl, 2000), cadherins and activated leukocyte adhesion molecules (cell to cell adhesion molecules) and cytoskeleton signaling performed by RHO GTPases (Somlyo, 2003). There can be major changes to the mechanism of metastasis in response to the changing pattern of these specific molecular signals."

Abstract
Since the Cuban revolution, Cuban-American relations have been strained. The Cuban Adjustment Act (1966) grants refugee status to virtually every Cuban national to arrive in the US. This is a point of contention between the two governments. This paper analyzes Cuban-American migration and the similar case of undocumented refugees from China arriving in Canada in 1999.

Chinese Migration to New Zealand, 2005.
This paper examines governmental and university studies to evaluate the characteristics of the recent Chinese migration to New Zealand as compared to the earlier Chinese migration.

Abstract
This paper explains that changes in the immigration laws of New Zealand has resulted in changes in the characteristics of recent Chinese immigrants, who are now stereotypically considered to be very wealthy with ready cash, coming mainly from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore rather that the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) itself as past Chinese migrants did. The author points out that the research indicated that this was not true; they do not exhibit the wealth ascribed to these new Chinese immigrants by the media; indeed they are rather young, highly qualified and usually experienced professionals coming predominantly from large urban centers. The paper relates that the new skilled arrivals studied are very different from earlier Chinese migrants not only in their educational and employment backgrounds but also in their points of origin in China; the new migrants are from predominantly urbanized and Mandarin or Wu - Shanghai/Yangtze Delta - dialect speaking areas, which do not fit the traditionally rural, predominantly Yue/Cantonese speaking linguistic profile of earlier Chinese immigrants to New Zealand.

From the Paper
"The minimum English proficiency levels required of the General Category arrivals were generally somewhat lower than those that would be required of later post-October 1995 General Skills Applicants. However, in the course of completing their degrees most Principal Applicants would have had to study English as a support subject for two years and most likely read some material in English. While their English language skills did not match their technical skills, English levels reached during two years of compulsory university English language study within a science-oriented undergraduate degree would generally be considered adequate to meet the minimum level of English required."

Abstract
The paper looks at the black migration, during the early 20th century, from the poorer regions of the South towards the more advanced ones in the North. The paper explains this migration in light of the background of that historical period and the changing conditions that intervened at the beginning and during the First World War. The paper examines the consequences of this migration and notes positive and negative effects on the black population. The paper concludes that the black migration north represented an essential event in the shaping of the culture of the US.
From the Paper
"The society at the beginning of the 20th century was largely influenced by the existence of racism, which determined the orientation of the social attitude based on segregation behavior. The Jim Crows laws played a major role in institutionalizing this tendency . The moment of their enactment represented in fact the official and legal recognition of the segregation practice. These laws "enforced racial segregation in the South between the end of the formal Reconstruction period in 1877 and the beginning of a strong civil rights movement in the 1950s" . however, until the emergence of the Emancipation movement and the Civil Rights quest, black people were constantly subjected to discriminatory treatment."

Legal Migration from Mexico, 2005.
A discussion of the pros and cons of allowing legal migration from Mexico into the United States.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of legal migration. Specifically, it discusses the benefits of allowing legal migration from Mexico to the U.S. and the damaging effects of not allowing legal migration. In addition, it analyzes the problems and dangers that have come from the increased border patrols. Allowing more legal migration from Mexico into the United States is a controversial issue that has been addressed by many, but never acted upon. The writer points out that the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico into the U.S. takes its toll in many forms; allowing more legal immigrants to enter the U.S. would solve many problems, including death in the deserts, smugglers trafficking in human lives, and reuniting families separated by time and borders. It argues that legal immigration from Mexico must be addressed and increased for the benefit of so many Mexican citizens who want to better their lives.
From the Paper
"The history of legal and illegal immigration into the country from Mexico has not always been fraught with problems. In the 1940s, the "bracero" program allowed Mexican farm workers to immigrate to the United States to work primarily in the farmlands of California and Texas. The program was temporary, and allowed workers to come into the country because of a labor shortage in the US caused by World War II. It continued rather sporadically until 1964, when the US ended the program, feeling it artificially lowered the wages for American farm workers. When the program ended, the Border Patrol, the enforcement division of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), (now called the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, USCIS), apprehended perhaps 42,000 illegal workers attempting to enter the country along the Mexican border. By 1974, that number had skyrocketed to at least 710,000 illegal immigrants apprehended attempting to enter the country, and in 1986, the peak year, 1.7 million people were apprehended. Today, at least 1,000,000 workers are apprehended each year (Borjas and Fisher 626). In 1986, President Reagan and the Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), a form of amnesty that allowed many illegal aliens already in the country to remain in the country legally. It also created many sanctions against employers who hire illegal aliens."

Abstract
This paper looks at how international labour migration from Poland to Western Europe has proved to be an effective strategy in overcoming some of the multiple problems of transformation after the communist system collapsed. It argues that Poles generally have access only to the secondary sector of labour economy. It also examines how bilateral intergovernmental agreements, official statistical data and survey results suggest that the labour flows to the primary labour markets are limited due to the structural constraints of European economies as well as migration policies and regulations of receiving societies.

From the Paper
"The complexity and diversification of international migration has resulted in the fact that there is no single theory or model which would be able to explain the phenomenon of migration satisfactorily and to capture dynamics of the process and conditions related to its various phases. However, different models were adopted in the attempt to reveal and predict various specific aspects associated with it. Among the most important theories which aim to explain causes of international migration, its development, and why it tends to sustain, are the neo-classical economics, the new economics of migration, segmented labour market theory, world system theory, social capital theory, and cumulative causation. The latter models accentuate different aspects of this phenomenon."

Abstract
This paper studies the effects of international migration on the social and political climate of the U.S., which is analyzed through theoretical perspectives suggested and based on discussions provided by four social scientists, Douglas Massey, Kim Matthews, Paul Kennedy, and Nina Schiller. Their analyses are discussed vis-a-vis Stephen Castles and Mark Miller?s proposed migration theories and models presented in their book, ?The Age of Migration.?
From the Paper
"Migration, as a social activity, is a vital element considered not only for its importance in determining specific aspects of a country?s socio-demographic characteristics, but in determining the psycho-demographic characteristics of societies and cultures within that country. Indeed, it is evident that apart from serving as a catalyst in changing the social structure of societies, migration also helps change and bring dynamism to a the norms, traditions, and values held important by a society and culture. Take as an example the history of migration in the United States. Historical events such as the first and second World Wars have triggered the sudden increase in migration of people from different countries in the world. Furthermore, migration also increased as an effect of the economic and political stability of the US, as compared to other countries in the world, which are either experiencing economic crisis or political instability, or both."

Abstract
This essay discusses immigration, immigrants and migration patterns in Canada. The paper goes through historical newspapers from 1891 to 1960 and reports on what they said about immigration, immigrants and migration in Canada. The paper looks at the changing pattern of migration over the seventy year period that the newspaper articles span.
From the Paper
"Immigration, Immigrants and Migration Patterns in Canada Canada is a multinational country known for its diversity. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census". Most Canadians are so used to this level of diversity that they fail to recognize that it is a relatively recent development. When Canada was a young country it primary culture was extremely xenophobic. This meant that because foreigners were not well liked or widely accepted in Canadian society. This is because the majority of Canadians at this point were of British origin."
