BENGALURU:  The word immigration means moving from one place to another, but the reasons behind it has changed over centuries. People have migrated for a more fertile land,  in pursuit of jobs and even for greater religious freedom. Migration in the recent past is however heavily influenced by politics, war and poverty—to sum it up, people are seen to be migrating to avoid struggle in their homeland.  

However warm and welcoming the host country might be initially, too many immigrants in that land might create obvious social tensions that are bound to raise in that country. Ultimate results of such mass immigrations are serious aggression towards the immigrants.

Tolerance Score: 41.82
