It would depend on what time and place the question is asking. Nowadays, Immigration is mostly done by plane, but in the older times, such as the 1700's, being on an immigrant ship was horrible. Disease was often rampant, and many settlers died before getting off the ship. Pirates could also attack these ships. A few immigrant ships were also slave ships, so many died of the horrible sanitation and disease conditions.
