The movement, or migration, of people from one region to another is prevalent throughout history. Immigration is the process of moving to a new country or region with the intention of staying and living there. People may choose to immigrate for a variety of reasons, such as employment or education opportunities, to escape a violent conflict, environmental factors, or to reunite with family. Immigration processes can be complicated and are often driven by a few key principles, including uniting families, boosting the economy with skilled professionals, promoting diversity, and helping refugees.
