The United States is the most common country of immigration for Chinese people. When many people choose a country to immigrate to, they first think of the United States. So what are the unique attractions for Chinese people to immigrate to the United States? What are the advantages for Chinese people to immigrate to the United States? Let’s take a look with the Overseas Immigration Network.
Ensure that their children get a better education
Among these people, some are because the United States provides better educational opportunities, while others just want to experience a new environment.
According to reports, there were 975,000 international students studying in the United States in the 2015 academic year, of which 304,000 were Chinese students, accounting for 31.2%, becoming the largest country for students studying in the United States. In fact, if the current growth rate of students remains unchanged (the growth rate from 2014 to 2015 was 10.8%), by 2020, there will be at least 500,000 Chinese students wanting to study in the United States.
Employment and business opportunities
In some cases, people with a high level of education, vocational skills, and language proficiency choose to immigrate because the United States can provide more opportunities than their own country. Examples of immigrant success abound in Silicon Valley. Although immigrants only account for 12% of the population in the United States, they founded 52% of the technology companies in Silicon Valley and contributed more than 25% of the patents.
.Marriage
In today’s globalized world, long-distance dating is all the rage. But if two people want to continue developing, getting together across the ocean is an obvious choice.
Create more opportunities for children
Sometimes, for the sake of their children’s education and future employment, parents often make the most difficult decision to immigrate to the United States from their home country. In China, where children are expected to succeed, many parents immigrate to other places for their children. According to reference news reports, a survey company conducted interviews with 185 Chinese people who have immigration plans and found that the main reason for Chinese immigration is the education of their children. About 65% of the respondents listed this as their reason for immigrating. The first starting point.
Family Reunification
The most common legal basis for immigrating to the United States is the Family Reunification Act. This bill allocates 74% of the quota to new immigrants who have obtained a family reunification visa. There are some people in the United States who are working hard abroad to obtain green cards, hoping to reunite their families in the United States as soon as possible.
Seeking Better Health Care
Imagine what it would be like to have serious health problems but live in a country with limited health care services.
The latest research released by the American Cancer Society in January this year shows that due to advanced treatments, early screening, and changes in lifestyle habits such as people quitting smoking, the cancer death rate in the United States has dropped significantly since 1991. 23%, and the number of survivors is about 1.7 million. The latest study from the American Cancer Society, which monitors cancer cases and deaths, shows a decrease in overall cancer mortality, specifically for lung, breast, prostate, colon and rectal cancers.
In order to escape conflict or violence
The United States currently has an annual quota of 70,000 refugees from around the world. The Obama administration plans to increase the number of refugees the United States is willing to accept in 2017 to 100,000.
However, there are also great differences in the United States on whether to accept refugees. According to the British "Independent" report on the 15th, Trump warned in an interview with the US Border Patrol Council's Green Line radio program that another attack on the scale of "9/11" could be caused by refugees entering the United States. The equipment used was communications equipment funded by the extremist group, the Islamic State.
The 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths.
When asked if he believed that a second 9/11 incident was needed to awaken Americans’ awareness of border security, Trump replied: Yes. I do think so. ?
Refuge after being displaced due to environmental factors
Natural disasters, soil erosion and environmental factors caused by climate change pose serious threats to humans living in poor areas.
In fact, Christian Aid reports that one billion people could be displaced by climate change over the next 50 years. However, current international law does not make special provisions for people who leave their home countries for the above reasons; in reality, these people also immigrate through normal channels. Therefore, the host country is not obliged to give the green light to "climate refugees".
Escape from poverty
This is perhaps the most common reason for migration. Can you really get rid of poverty by coming to the United States? Many immigrants who come to the United States have no skills and can only work in jobs with the lowest hourly wages, but their lives have definitely improved compared to those in their home countries.
