Immigration in Costa Rica


Immigration in Costa Rica

Currently, people have a negative attitude about accepting people from other countries; immigrants are people that travel to another country with the objective of getting settled and finding a better life and, better opportunities for their families. In our country there are many immigrants, for example, people coming from Nicaragua. This has created a negative atmosphere among people, because some Costa Ricans feel invaded by Nicaraguans and and believe these people are inferior to the Costa Rican, but this is not thrue; becauses they are hard worker people, honest, and eager to overcome. Nicaraguans come to our country with the objective of being happy with their families, but however “Many immigrant residents in the northern zone are not allowed to call their families or to go to their home to retrieve their identification or residence papers” [1]; although this happening again the Nicaraguans want to continue taking the fight, because this is better than living in your home country. Another reason to come to Costa Rica is because we have a free, beautiful, and good to live country. These reasons and others are enough to give a chance of life to our Nicaraguan friends.

  1. Hi my joyful friend!

    Yes you right! All of we have the right to live in a good way that means to have a job and a fair wage, to live peacefully, and to view your family grows up healthy. The situation in Nicaragua is very hard so for that reason Nicaraguan come to our country looking for a better life. The problem is huge because they work in Costa Rica with bad salary because of their lack of education so the consequences of that is the poverty. They have to fight to survivor in this country with the label of the poverty, the ignorance and the violence.
