In this article, I will discuss the positive and negative effects of immigration to the United Kingdom.

Also, throughout this article, I will argue that migration, immigration, and refugees, due to the topic, get mixed up anyway in public news outlets and the public imagination.

Immigration is basically where people move from one country to another or immigrate internally, such as in a continental nation like China or the United States of America.

Migration tends to be caused by nomadic communities such as the Mongols, the Huns, and other tribal societies moving from place to place, looking for new Pastoral land.

Also, mass migration can be caused by climate change and civil war, such as what European nations have been experiencing since the beginning of the Arab Spring in 2010: mass migration from war-torn countries in North Africa to Europe.

So, concerning this piece, I will discuss the negative and positive impacts immigration has on the cultural fabric of the United Kingdom because immigrants don’t just change the ethnic makeup of the country; it also affects its IQ and social cohesion.

Human beings, due to evolving in tribal societies, are by their very nature like to be around people that have similar moral values to one another.

In regards to racism, I would say particularly in regards to my own country, the United Kingdom, it’s very much based on language.
