Emigration and Refugees

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country of origin to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. News often show thousands of people trying to cross the country's borders when civil unrest or war threatens people's lives. Leaving one's country is called emigration, though not everyone who emigrates is a refugee.. Many refugees go to a 'refugee camp' if one is available, but many refugees take huge chances to leave their country and do not have access to support services, such as camps. Some people legally seek "refugee status" in the new country.

Why did people emigrate from nicaragua?

Because of the Sandinista revolution in 1979, presided by Daniel Ortega, who ruled the country with an iron fist. This government started confiscating properties, imprisoning anyone who was against there socialist beliefs. They stole companies, farms, lands, houses and put you away in prison just because a person was wealthy, or "burgueses" as they like to call people with affluential people. Thanks to this, now a hand full of high ranking sandinista officials are the richest social class in the country, governing the second poorest country in america and one of the most corrupt in the world.

It is a scam, please report it as spam immediately, and do not respond.

If you get mail or email about refugee Catholic anything or orphanage home or anything else in Dakar Senegal, it is spam, they are trying to get money, your email address, anything. Do not reply, nor answer, just report it to the authorities.

It would appear not, it would appear, from various searches, that most of the mail coming from Dakar Senegal claiming to be Catholic Churches are scams. If you get any such mail or email, please report it at once and do not respond to it.

There may well be, but the information on specific Churches in Dakar Senegal is not on the web; HOWEVER, there is a huge amount of information on SPAM and other con-artists that use Catholic Church in Dakar, be very careful.

Can Jewish people always emigrate to Israel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the Israeli Law of Return, the answer is yes. Despite the difficult logistics involved, Israel accepts many thousands of Jews each year, who immigrate from all over the world.

It is worth noting that prior to the Establishment of the State of Israel, Jewish immigration to Israel was highly regulated and often illegal.

Is there a refugee camp called Yorff Kongo Villa in Dakar Senegal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

What there is, is a scam. People are scamming good hearted - or greedy - folks into sending money so that they can "be free" or "get access to large amounts of money".

It's a 419 scam, or what used to be known as "The Spanish Prisoner".

There are several refugee and displaced person camps in and around Dakar.

There is currently a scam (internet, mail) concerning a claimed refugee camp, designed to elicit money from individuals to help someone at an alleged camp. That may or may not be to what you refer in your question. You should not send any funds to individuals who make such approaches.

Have you received an email from a person (specially a girl) who claimed he/she is residing in a refugee camp in Dakar, Senegal? I ensure you it's a scam and there is no camp in Senegal. That person is a swindler.

I wouldn't think so because Senegal as a country isn't economically strong enough to support itself.

There is a "sweetheart scam" that involves a man or woman claiming to be from a refugee camp and wishing for a "pen pal". At some point then, the "refugee" then speaks of getting an inheritance or some other money, and just needs a "little" money from you to get at it, or leave the camp. A Spanish Prisoner/419 scam, with the "sweetheart" part thrown in to put you off your guard.

Don't send any money or give out any personal information.

Call NZ Immigration from USA at 64-9-914-4100 and ask them about current requirements. As of now, they claim it could be an issue under the "Character" section of the application. However, that tends to be more focused on wehther or not you have committed crimes and have spent time in jail. So, he suggested when you fill out the Expression of Interest to make sure you don't hide information, but that it shouldn't be an issue.

Can anyone apply for immigration to Canada as a refugee?

User Avatar

Asked by Ericapatrics

Not everyone can apply for immigration as a refugee. Refugees and people needing protection are those in or outside Canada who fear returning to their home country. In keeping with its humanitarian tradition and international obligations, Canada provides protection to thousands of people every year.

Canada offers refugee protection to people in Canada who fear of persecution or who may be at risk of torture or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment, and are unwilling or unable to return to their home country.

Groups and individuals can sponsor refugees from abroad who qualify to come to Canada.

Why have so many Eastern European Jews chosen to emigrate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a number of reasons for the Jewish departure from Eastern Europe from the mid-1700s up to the mid-1900s.

1) Border Changes: There were numerous wars in Eastern Europe which lead to some countries (like Poland) expanding to huge sizes before being completely removed from the map. This nearly constant map-rewriting made many Jews flee the oncoming battles and resettle elsewhere.

2) Religious Intolerance: Eastern Europe had a mix of Catholics (who were dominant in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary), Orthodox (who were dominant in Russia, Serbia, and Greece), and Jews (who settled throughout). Religious tensions were common and religious adherence was enforced brutally, especially in Yugoslav States and the Austrian Empire in general. Jews were targeted especially because they were believed by both the Orthodox and the Catholics to be heretics and unable to properly integrate.

3) Ottoman Invasion: When the Ottomans came and conquered the entirety of southeast Europe, many Europeans fled the Ottoman occupation because of fear as to how they would live under the Turks. (Admittedly it turned out that Turkish Occupation was better for the Jews than what they had before, but the fear of what it could be was the dominant factor in their decisions.) Many Jews, like their Christian neighbors, fled north to escape the Ottomans.

4) Economic Pressures: Eastern European land was difficult for many to farm. It did not provide a warm climate or adequate resources to really build the massive farming successes found in Western Europe (with the possible exception of the Ukraine). As a result, the famines encouraged many to seek a livelihood elsewhere.

5) Nazism: Over 5 million Jews in Eastern Europe were exterminated during the Holocaust by the Nazi Einsatzgruppen, the Final Solution, Starvation in Ghettos, and other atrocities perpetrated during the Holocaust. (Note: Around 1 million Jews killed came from other regions, which is the difference between this number and the traditional 6 million.) These individuals were incapable of freely departing and were slaughtered.

Where did the Irish emigrate to in the 1800s?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

More often than not, yes, the Irish often had to settle in the slums. In cities in the North, like New York City, the Irish were normally too poor to own their own homes. Areas like Lowers Manhattans "Five Points" were home to many slums and in those slums were many poor Irish immigrant's. In the South, though most Irish immigrants did not settle there, the Irish were not necessarily in slums, however, they did not typically lead happy lives. Often in the South, Irish people were hired to do jobs that were considered too dangerous to have slaves do.

Was Einstein a refugee?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically, no.

Related Information:

He did come to America in 1933, to avoid persecution due to his faith (he was a Jew). He made the decision to relocate to a better life, and the US, was happy to have him.

He was already a world-renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, whose presence brought fame, respect, and admiration to Austria and Germany. He also had some wealth, and a job offer from Princeton University, which he accepted.

He was not among those tragic choice-less people, that by popular norms were considered to be refugees, fleeing behind a pushcart, filled with the meager remnants of their belongings. However, he certainly found it prudent to relocate in order to avoid the persecution brought by the ethnic and political excesses that were taking place in Europe, and especially Germany, at that time.

Had he left Germany after 1951, when the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, Article 1.A.2, adopted the following definition:

[A]ny person who: owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for

reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social

group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and

is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the

protection of that country.";

Then, by these later standards, he would have been considered a refugee.

Under the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951, a refugee is more narrowly defined (in Article 1.A.2) as a person who:

"owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country".
