When we have a look at the history of immigration between different countries, it varies. Sometimes it can be a flood of people, and sometimes it may just be a river. It can be a small amount of people seeking a new adventure, looking for new opportunities and exploring new land. Or it may be millions or thousands of people running from problems in one country and searching for new hope and possibilities in a new one.
