Depends on which immigrants, and where they were. In some cases, they did not speak the same language as the mine owners. The mines may have been an unsafe place to work.

Migrant workers leave their lives behind. This involves family, friends, original jobs. For men and women it changes their social set-up. Sometimes they are forced to give up their lives, like the migrant workers in South Africa that went to work on the mines. They went to live in Johanneburg to work on the gold mines. Ths was because of heavy taxation on their farms. they have no contact with woman and even if they are married they fall in the trap of being involved with other women and as such break up their homes. in many instances thay stopped sending money home that was vital to survival for the family left behind. the woman left nehind also have to take on new roles in the family. They are now the only parental figure in the house. Migrants workers tended to spend lots of time drinking and fall in the drug trap. Today they become HIV+ because of poor choices and when they go home they infect their wives.
