Immigration

/ˌɪmɪˈɡreɪʃən/ noun

Definition

Immigration is the process of people moving into a country to live there permanently or for a long time. It also refers to the government systems and rules that control this movement.

Etymology

From Latin "immigratio" meaning "a going in," from "immigrare" (to move into). The political and legal sense grew as modern nations created borders and immigration policies.

Kelly Says

Immigration reshapes both the newcomers and the host country—food, music, language, and even laws slowly shift. Many countries quietly rely on immigration for economic growth and younger populations, even while publicly arguing about it.
