When migrants are integrating into a new environment different to what they are used to, it can cause some issues, both on the part of the migrant and also for the people in the community.
There may be integration difficulties and friction firstly with local people who are opposed to them entering into their community. Not being age racist, but sometimes the older generation, may be more opposed to migrants than the younger generation – which can make the migrants' integration more difficult. Migrants may therefore be exploited in some cases as they don’t feel accepted in the society, which will make their overall transition slower as they are accepted into it. As well as this, increases in population can also put pressure on public services like the health service etc.
It is important that services are set up to train migrants about their new area, and how things work, for example basic things like travel costs/ where to buy tickets etc, and also what they can find in their surrounding community. That way it may help to integrate them better, and help stop any problems from happening.
