The reason of people inmigrate are win a better live, have a good job, have eat for eating, have a better social live, have a better house… things that they probably in your contry haven’t.
> Some of the reasons people immigrate are to have a better life, a good job, and a better social life. They also move to other countries to have food to eat and a house to live in – things that they probably do not have back in their own countries.

I think is if the people would work with normally, there aren’t problem because they contribute to country.
> I think that if the people would be working normally, there wouldn’t be any problems because they will be contributing to the country.

Continue practicing regularly.
