Summary/Abstract: International migration has occurred all through history. Each year millions of people leave their homes and cross national borders in search of better standards of living and greater security for themselves and their families, undertaking jobs ranging from manual labor to high tech activities. In the 21st century international migration is one of the key factors that shape the world in which we live: it plays a central role in global processes of social, economic and political change. In this context, despite the existence of a modern legislation the migrants are continuing to be considered by the most populations from the destination countries as intruders that aggravate the crisis on the labor market, having a big contribution to the growing of criminality or to the supplement of social assistance budget.
