The migratory routes
The migratory routes
7. Explain the consequences of migrations for both the countries
that send the emigrants away and the countries that receive immigrants?
The sending countries have as a result of migrations positive things like emigrants that return with money and education and social conflicts decrease. But they also have negative consequences like loss of workers, loss of traditions and unbalanced society. On the other hand the receiving countries win labour force, immigrants pay taxes, there is an increase of population and natality rates and there is a culture mix, but the negative side is the cultural conflicts, the loss of identity, the worsen of salaries, the social inequality and the racism.

8. Give your personal opinion.
In my personal opinion this are unacceptable ways of travelling, I think train ddriver should help people going slowler or making a secure place for immigrants. Governments should make laws that help stopping kidnaps or killings investing more in the army.
