Internal Migration is defined as an act of people/ethnic group in which they cross borders of one

country to another. In fact, it can be broken down into five (5) groups. (Claudio & Abinales,
2018)

1. Are those who permanently move to another country (immigrants);

Moving abroad and starting over in a new country is a big life changing. The home country
also faces specific challenges in regards to immigration. In many cases, immigrants move to
another country to provide positive changes for their future. Reasons to immigrate can include
the standard of living not being high enough, the value of wages being too low, a slow job
market, or a lack of educational opportunities. If a country is losing citizens due to economic
reasons, the situation will not improve until economic changes are made.

2. Refers to workers who stay in another country for a fixed period

Second, the person who works internationally for a reason, for example, working for their
family's necessities, is the subject. The best illustration of this is that Hong Kong has numerous
specialists from the Philippines and has a work, the vast majority of whom are Chinese
individuals' treatment suppliers, medical caretakers, gourmet experts and Maids. Filipinos are
basically utilized by Chinese workers for their organization.
3. Are comprised of illegal migrants

There are a variety of commonly understood reasons why people are identified as “illegal
immigrants”. A person may cross a border against the rules of the country they’re entering.
Someone may have been living in a country according to its rules until their visa expired, was
cancelled, or they could no longer meet its conditions. A person’s status might also change
without them knowing – sometimes people are even identified as “illegal immigrants” in their
home country.

For example, research at San Diego State University estimates that there are 2.4 million victims
of human trafficking among illegal Mexican immigrants in the United States. Some workers are
smuggled into the United States and Canada by human traffickers.
4. Are migrants whose families have "petitioned" them to move to the destination country.

This is possibly the person who has a foreign family and asked them to migrate for the good
of their lives from one country to another country. The best example is just like the movie of
Kathryn Bernardo and Aldhen Richard with the title of Hello, Love, Goodbye wherein the
character of Aldhen Richard that he has a brother lives in the Philippines and they decided to live
in hongkong so they get their younger brother since their father is already a citizen in the
hongkong.
5. Are refugees (asylum-seekers)

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution,
war or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion,
nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot
return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading
causes of refugees fleeing their countries. And the best example of this is the Syria crisis has
accelerated more dramatically than any crisis on earth, and Syrians continue to be the largest
forcibly displaced population in the world. After war erupted in March 2011, it took two years
for 1 million people to be displaced. Another million were displaced within six months. Now
nine years on, more than half of the pre-war population has been internally displaced or forced to
seek safety in neighboring countries. That’s more than 13.2 million people on the run, including
more than 6.6 million people who have escaped across the borders.
