Ensayo de migración citicenz of the world

...

Another myth that I have heard from many people is "immigrants come to make money without leaving money to the country"; According to data from the DEM, "73.8% of migrants work in Chile."

So it is really ignorant to think that they do not leave money since this implies that immigrants who work in Chile if or if they must quote AFP, Fonasa or Isapre, also must pay a VAT of 19% for all consumption made within the country.

Another of the social myths that I have heard has been that they do not have the same rights because they are immigrants; This is one of the myths that leaves me more perplexed, since I consider it xenophobic, because only because of the fact of having been born we already have "Human Rights".

Reviewing the comments of the channel 13 report, I think that mainly Chilean laws are not designed for the recent increase in immigrants and their new needs, I think the country should adapt to the new changes that society is facing and that should open its borders to coexist in a better integrated World

In conclusion, I find it absurd that today, in the 21st century, there are still these types of social myths, especially when Chile, as mentioned above, is a country that is immersed in a globalized world, which implies reducing cultural barriers and economic In addition, we must bear in mind, that this type of myths delay the progress of the country, and mainly do not allow us to be the citizens that the world needs.

We must be more than clear that immigrants play a fundamental role in our society, because they make it possible to increase our cultural diversity and bring great income to the country.

We are all citizens of the world, DON`T FORGET IT.
