Ecuador
Emigration
Is
a relatively recent phenomenon, but one that has had a huge impact on
the country's demographics and economy. Eleven percent of Ecuadorians
(1.5 million people) live outside Ecuador, primarily in Spain and the
United States. Ecuadorians have also settled in Italy, the
Netherlands, France, and Canada.
Ecuadorian
nationals are residents in more than 60 countries.
In
the United States, Ecuadorians are most concentrated in New York City
and New Jersey; approximately 90,000 Ecuadorians live in Queens,
particularly in Corona and Jackson Heights.
During the late 1990s financial crisis in
Ecuador, a mass migration to Spain occurred. Today, Ecuadorians and
Romanians are the largest immigrants group in Spain.
Nearly all Ecuadorians who
emigrate intend to return to Ecuador, even though many have settled
permanently.
Immigration
The
number of immigrants, particularly Peruvians and Colombians, has
increased in the last five years. Most Peruvians are economic
migrants, and the majority of Colombians are refugees, escaping an
escalation of armed conflict since 2002 and the hardships created by
drug eradication programs (spraying coca crops) in southern Colombia.

Spain-Euskadi
According
to the Spanish government, there were 5.6 million foreign residents in Spain in 2010;
independent estimates put the figure 14% of total population (Red Cross, World
Disasters Report 2006). According to residence permit data for 2010, around
800,000 were Romanian, 710,000 were Moroccan, 410,000 were Ecuadorian, 370,000
were British and 290,000 were Colombian. Other important foreign communities
are Bolivian (4.1%), German (3.4%), Italian (3.1%), Bulgarian (2.9%), Chinese
(2.6%) and Argentine (2.5%). In 2005,
a regularization programme increased the legal immigrant
population by 700,000 people. Since 2000 Spain has experienced high
population growth as a result of immigration flows, despite a birth rate that
is only half of the replacement level. This sudden and ongoing inflow of
immigrants, particularly those arriving clandestinely by sea, has caused
noticeable social tensions.
In our
town, immigration has increased notoriously. It all started around ten years
ago and the quantity of the members of different country has increased. People
from Romania, China, South America, Africa or even Europe walk through our streets today. Some consider it a
good way to open ourselves to what really life means (meeting new people for
example) even though there is still people that consider it a colognization of
our country and culture when they see all the shops and jobs these people
ocucupie.

Emigration From Argentina
Some Argentines chose to leave their country during the troubled years of government turmoil in the 1970s and 1980s. Emigrants from Argentina left records documenting their migration in the country they left as well as in the country they moved to.Most Argentinian emigrants left through Buenos Aires or the major cities with international transportation. There are records of departures including emigration list, passport records, and passenger lists. The information in these lists varies over time but usually includes the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, and destinations. In addition, relationships and last residence or birthplace may be given. Passenger lists are available from the Dirección de Puertos (Administration of the Port) and for the air travel from the Dirección General de Aeronavegación (General Administration of Aviation) which comes under the Ministerio de Aeronáutica (Ministry of Aeronautics).
Immigration into Argentina
Most
immigrants to Argentina arrived at the port of Buenos Aires or
crossed the border with Uruguay from Montevideo. There are Passenger
lists for disembarkation at and embarkation from the Port of Buenos
Aires. These include some passports. The immigration records between
1870 and 1888 were lost. As the Centro de Estudio Migratorios
(C.E.M.L.A.) has complete and computerized immigration records from
1888–1925. You may write to them for information. Some of those who
emigrated from Europe emigrated through the port of Hamburg. The
records of Hamburg have been microfilmed and are available in the
collection of the Family History Library. Buenos Aires had a small
population of Scandinavian immigrants.
Why?
Because
they want a better life and another oportunity. Maybe they will have
a better economy on another country or maybe they have family there.
Wars, poberty, the weather are consecuences and they take part in the
oppinions of the people.

Emigration
From Romania
Romania is one of
the countries that most emigrates. In 2009, they made up 14.2% of
Spain's total foreign population of 5,598,691 people. Most of the
people emigrates for economic reasons, better live quality or only
just to see another side of the entire Europe.
Romania and Spain
relations are very good. They re-established diplomatic relations on
January 5, 1967.
The Romanians, after
having a better life, they go back to they’re country and stay
there until all ‘resources’ are gone, then goes back to Spain.

Emigration
from Romania
The second community that most migrates is
Romania. Migrate for several Reasone's: studies, better quality of life,
economy and politics. Generally migrate to countrys with better economic
situation and where the language is very similar to Romanian, because it is
easier to understand and learn. Since Romania joined the European Union (2007),
the number of migrants from Romania increase. The population reaches 22.3
million and is decreasing at a rate of 0.12% per annum. Therefore, many
schools, shops, companies ... etc, have been forced to close. Families have
been separated for a while because usually, first migrate the parents and the
children remain in the care of relatives, so if parents do well and find work,
bring their children. While in Spain, the highest percentage of what they earn,
is aimed at all costs. So move the economy in this country, while in Romania,
slows and turns. The other percentage is generally save and sent home to buy
house's,apartments or other things. After improving economically, families
return to their country and their lives
carry on. Although the child, depends on the age, want to go back and make
their lives in Spain. So many families
who emigrated in Spain, Romania's recognition that before. On the other hand,
the Spanish, in Romania is considered a familiar language and is spoken by a
remarkable number of people and the number is growing. Currently, the economy
is getting worse by the second, and now is very little and consumption grows.
Then foreigners are forced to return to Romania, where they have the
opportunity to move on.

Reasons
to emigrate from Mexico
Mexican
migration
refers to the migration
of large numbers of Mexican
nationals to neighboring countries, mostly to the United
States but in this case to Spain. Emigration could function as an
escape from economical pressure. People didn't have work
opportunities in small villages so they drived to migrate to big
cities. So the
main reason why Mexicans emigrate to the other countries is to
improve their economic situation.
Mikel's
expience
I was 13
years old when I had to emigrate from Mexico to Spain. I came with
all my family because my father is from here. I think the most
difference from Spain is the culture. That was the most difficult
thing to adapt to people who live here. The language it is quite
similar so it is easy to communicate with Spanish people. The weather
was a little better in Mexico because here is usually colder.
IMMIGRATION
IN SPAIN
According to
residence permit data for 2010, around 800,000 were Romanian, 710,000
were Moroccan, 410,000 were Ecuadorian, 370,000 were British and
290,000 were Colombian. Other important foreign communities are
Bolivian (4.1%), German (3.4%), Italian (3.1%), Bulgarian (2.9%),
Chinese (2.6%) and Argentine (2.5%). In 2005, a regularization
programme increased the legal immigrant population by 700,000 people.
Since 2000 Spain has experienced high population growth as a result
of immigration flows, despite a birth rate that is only half of the
replacement level. This sudden and ongoing inflow of immigrants,
particularly those arriving clandestinely by sea, has caused

My personal
experience
I came to Spain when I
was four years old. At first, I lived in Benidorm and then I moved to Murcia. In Murcia I’ve
lived for two years. When I was six years, I came here, to Genika City.
I don’t really remember why did we came to Spain, but I think that was because
my parents were looking for a better life.
The people
here was very nice with me and on that time, there weren’t many immigrants. I
studied Spanish and Basque very quickly and easily. I came to Spain with my
aunt and my uncle, because my parents were already here. The only thing I miss
from Romania is my family.
