.here is little doubt that the issue of refugees is a global problem. While it most immediately affects developing nations, there is a strong argument that industrialised countries should help by allowing higher levels of immigration. This is certainly not an easy issue though, because historically immigration has caused as many problems as it solves. The principal reason why developed nations should help is that we now live in a global village and it is no longer possible to ignore what happens on the other side of the world . The multi-cultural experiments in Europe have not always succeeded and immigrants have often suffered badly from racism and other prejudices.
