My opinion about the immigration in Chile

This year, in summer, I was work for the University applying a questionnaire to the immigrants from Dominican Republic and I discovered a traumatic situation.

In order to establish the context in this area is necessary to remember  the situation in 1973 in Chile, the violence and the horror caused  for the dictatorship; for this political situation, a part of the chileans are take refuge in others countries, product of this, in the present, Chile it's has opened to receive immigrants from Latin America, Europe, U.S.A, etc.

In this moment the economic situation in Chile it's stable, for that, a substantial part of Latin America it's come to Chile searching a better life. In some cases, they need to traveled in plane to another country and drive or even walking for days. Just for discover the reality.

Ceirtainly, Chile has job opportunities and better salaries, but the cost of the life it's enourmous and inequalety it's  a really serious problem, without taking into account the nonexistents protection and integration laws or some kind of help for immigrants. Although the discrimination isn't the worse problem in Chile, exist racism and segregation causing feelings of isolation.

It's true that in some cases the immigrants be able to emerge and obtain a really good life, but it's really difficult, and in my seem, they are all capable and friendly and I don't wish for them that sorrow.

Possibly, in the future, we'll have more laws for the insertion to immigrants in Chile and in that moment I recommended to come, but for now I think it's better not to move here.

See you, and sorry for being so rude.
