1. Three common positive perceptions that societies have about migrants include– but are not limited to –beliefs involving cultural enrichments, an increase in economic strength, and the diversification of interactions. “Globalization, migration, and ethnicity” explains that migrants benefit the economy– especially in countries that are developed –because of their entrepreneurship and engaging in jobs that are left empty by a country’s natives (Segal, 2019). This explanation effectively illustrates how migrants strengthen the economy by debunking the harmful claims about migrants doing the opposite. Considering this explanation and its purpose, it is concluded that the economy is strengthened through the creation of jobs, opportunities, and new products or services that will ultimately generate revenue that turns into profits for everybody.

Secondly, the acceptance of migrants leads to the enrichment of cultures through the intermingling and embracing of various elements. The United States is probably a prime example of this– despite its questionable treatment of migrants –because of the visible diversity and variety of cultural stores, restaurants, museums, and towns that are seen throughout the country– hence the nickname of ‘The Melting Pot.’ The perception of migrants enriching, or enhancing, the culture and adding to the diversity of interactions– the third example and positive perception –appear to go hand-in-hand. U.A. Segal notes that interactions with migrants– more specifically the increase of said interactions –has the tendency of “bolster[ing] acceptance of migration’ (Segal, 2019). Segal’s notation shows that the cultural enrichments and diversification, brought into societies by migrants, go hand-in-hand because interactions lead to new learnings and understandings, which also leads to the acceptance and integration or incorporation of multiple cultures into the society’s current cultural climate. 

2. I believe a common reason for negative views about migrants is due to the social construct of illegality. To elaborate, people often create misconceptions based on harmful stereotypes to determine an individual’s legality instead of considering official facts. René D. Flores and Ariela Schachter’s definition of social illegality and their revelation about legal statuses being unclear supports the previous statement by emphasizing the negative impacts of social illegality (Flores & Schachter, 2018). Throughout this course and the past few years of my life, I realized these negative views about migrants come from places of ignorance, which should be socially unacceptable but unfortunately is not. However, social illegality also exposes and/or emphasizes the significance of interacting with different cultures. 

3. Societies can facilitate the safety and success of migrants by encouraging more interactions and integrating more representation of them. These two suggestions will help break the mold of stereotypes and show that migrants and immigrants are humans just like the individuals who are native to the country. Exposing and acknowledging the humanity, endless talents, and abilities of migrants and immigrants will aid in their safety and success because more acceptance would occur due to the demolishing of stereotypes– which is the main thing that leads to the perpetuation of social illegality. I also believe that societies can facilitate the safety and success of migrants by adding or updating laws and policies that address significant topics/criteria regarding legal statuses, available resources, and points of contact.
