Introduction
Illegal immigration is one big problem that is widespread
these days in Kurdistan and Iraq generally, immigration
actually means to move to other country for the purpose of
job, permanent settlement or both, illegal immigration comes
into practice when people do not follow the guidelines
required before and during the immigration process, different
countries have different norms and conditions for allowing
immigration some asks for disclosing assets, others may ask
for the relative living in the country, thus immigration requires
a set of paper work and recognition by the government
agencies of the country involved in the process, thus inability
to fulfill all the norms and conditions, paper work and
disclosures results in Illegal immigration, illegal immigration
is mostly observed between the people of a poor country
moving towards richer country, by richer country we mean
the country having the currency exchange rate higher than
the poor country, thus with a greed of earning more money,
people from poor countries immigrate to richer country, but
when they see that they do not qualify to move, then they
take the help of miscreant and fraudulent agents who ask for
big bucks in return to favor of helping in the illegal
immigration process, thus the inappropriate information, fake

data, and duplicate certificates results in making the
immigration of people become Illegal, some people even
move with wrong work permits or fake certificates without
their knowledge of being illegal immigrant, the reason behind
is the tyranny of the agent who takes the money and does
not provides the accurate services. The outcome of illegal
immigration is jail, deportation and even fine, to stop illegal
immigration government of various countries has come
together to make their separate offices in each country,
these offices help in notifying people with the accurate
requirements for legal immigration, thus only the people with
all the required paper work and correct information are
allowed with a stamp of legal immigration.
Methodology

i. What made them leave and why are they immigrating to
abroad? What is the reason and their aims?

Participant:-
The participant for this study were 9 people, including 2 females 5
ungraduated males and 2 educated males, who were in different
cultures and nationalities according to Iraq and also the destined
country which I actually had an full negotiation and debate about
illegal immigration and migration in generally.
Materials:-
During the project I have used certain different materials and
resources such as:-
 Illegal, Alien or Immigrant: the politics of Immigration
reform. By Lina newton
 http://www.economist.com
 Experienced people In fields of foreign and Immigration
affairs
 http://www.wikipidia.com
about the materials I have mentioned above they were such a
useful sources regarding to my research and helped me out so
well especially the book that I have read it before while ago which
actually made me come up with such topic when I compared to
our society and it become a popular phenomenon with our young

people and also websites I was able to find widely good idea and
compare the details with my questions regarding to them.
Results (Analysis)
As I came to the end of my project, I compared the questions
with the answers and realized there are 2 main reasons which
actually makes them immigrate to another country, first main
reason is Economic which actually made them immigrate,
Kurdistan is passing through and economic crisis and we are all
aware of that which caused the lack of opportunities to work,
lack of money, and unemployment’s. this reason caused so
many troubles that made them have a negative idea about the
government and there is no equality here each one single
person trying for their own selves without providing the
necessary materials to the citizen and effected the people in a
bad way thinking that if they leave they would get a chance to
promote their lives and career there. And second main reason
is the Life enjoyments which finds itself in living the life that
any teenager wants no regarding to economic, government, or
politics but actually under the name of them to reach the
foreign lifestyle which they cant find it here due to culture and
traditions here that doesn’t allow to whatever they want so

found the opportunity to use this situation as an excuse to go
abroad, the ones who have moved abroad had the benefit of a
good systematic life with low above them all living the life in
equality enjoying human right and health and other important
objects of life, but there are also some who returned back and
regret it are mostly the ones that I mentioned above because
of the second reason what they thought was not the same
enough they had the freedom and the martials they looked
forward for it somehow but with that they have lost a lot of
things which they had it here and they couldn’t afford it there
same like their homeland and everything turned so hard in
front of them. At last what I came up with is the solution for
this phenomenon according to this research would be try to
promote the skills of the young and educated people and
encourage them to develop new ideas that will have positive
aspect to the society as whole without caring or depending on
other and try to have an affect over the government and
provide what a teenager wants in right possible ways and the
stuff to feel like they are living a good life enough and their
home is better than anywhere else.

In Conclusion
the people need to understand the value of fair methods and
means required to get legal immigration status. They should be
made aware of the problems that may arise due to illegal
immigration. The government of the poor countries should
help people get knowledge of immigration and its requirement
to its common people and along with that catch hold of
dubious agents who make people suffer later on. Thus a proper
department with a number of outlet offices in various cities can
help people get right knowledge of immigration and avoid
chances of becoming illegal migrants
