Migration

Source: criterionglobal.wordpress.com

Today, I will talk about migration because citizenship and migration are subjects that walk together holding hands, since migration laws always observe the citizenship aspect of the nations, therefore, it is almost impossible to think of them separately.

Besides a lawyer, I am also an International Law scholar and these subjects, along with Human Rights, are my study speciality.

I have already published some articles and two monographies approaching these themes and for this reason I will also use this space to talk about migration, every Saturday, continuing to use easy and simple language with the purpose of not only spreading information, but also to make myself understood for anyone.

Taking this into account, I will begin talking about Portuguese and Brazilian Migration, which are those I have more experience, yet I will try to explain a little bit of the migration rules from other countries as the USA, Canada, the UK and others.

But before analysing the migration laws of each of the above mentioned countries, I will speak a little bit about the concept and history of migration. Below, I provide you some extracts of my work “Laws against illegal migration and Human Rights violation. The case of the Directive Return and Arizona SB 1070”:

Migration is the movement of entrance (immigration) or exit (emigration) of a person or group of persons, usually seeking better life conditions.

I must highlight that migration is not something new, but something as ancient as humankind, once before achieving the “status” of “homo sapiens”, the human beings were already migrating from one side to the other of the globe seeking places which were more favourable to their survival.

Today it is estimated that there are around 214 million migrants in the world. The continent that hosts the biggest amount of migrants is Europe, with around 69.8 million, and the country that individually hosts more migrants is the USA (around 42.8 millions).

According to the International Organization for Migration, this is a phenomenon that reaches not only Europe and the USA, but all countries of the world. This organization also mentions that around 10% to 15% of the migrants are illegal aliens.

  2. I told them to type in "Mac - Book Air broken hinge" on Google for proof
    of the widespread issue, but they just shrugged it off.
    As expected, the models of consoles offered include the
    Xbox 360, the Sony Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii.
    Later on you will be surprised that there is a tiny scratch on your phone's screen.

  3. But, with the most recent turn of events, the i - Phone
    5 has made a landmark in the smartphone industry. The Galaxy S has
    a great 5 MP camera with a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels.
    Then it was dragged by a string and the results are there in front of you.

  4. However, with a mobile phone, you will have to be acutely aware of your surroundings.
    If you wish to answer a quick question, again, use your
    Smartphone to go online and search for that quick answer.
    You can convert more than hundred different types of currencies and will be
    able to keep up with the currency rate changes.

  6. Since the Samsung Galaxy N7000's screen is large, it makes maneuvering from one application to another very easy and convenient. Samsung is indeed implementing some great tactics to come up in this tough competitive phone markets. The Nexus S is unfortunately limited to 16GB of internal storage.
