1JUSTICE AND CHANGE IN GLOBAL WORLD Global immigrant issue The first part of the assignment discusses about the issue faced by the asylum seekers dueto the immigration policies. It can be understood that the stricter immigration policies can deterthe asylum from seeking their privileges and rights. Immigration and the refugee issues are nolonger the concern of the immigration but are now issues involving international securities,engaging the attention and the interest of the political heads, the key ministries and the cabinetsinvolved in defense, external relations and internal securities (McKay et al., 2012). It has to beremembered that the states consider their interests while setting up the assignment policies.Granting asylum to an immigrant can be an explicit critique of the treatment of any other state totheir citizens and hence countries are hesitant to accept refuges from the friendly countries morethan foes. If the economic stability is considered, the influx of a large number of the asylumseekers may affect the economy of the country. Furthermore a country can make stringent rulesin order to secure the international security. The incidence of terrorism all over the world cancompel a country to tighten its security. The international security policies sometimes may affect the basic human rights of the asylum seeker. For example the immigration policy taken up by the ministry of United States have kept the asylum seekers at lurch.

Measures to address the challengeAccording to Fairet al., (2018) the immigration policies restrict or provide the access tothe health care services. access to health care were restricted on these three domains- the lawsand the policies granting the minimum rights to the health care services , the laws and thepolicies granting more than minimum access to the health care services. The wide range of thecomplicated asylum seeker visa exemplify the complexity of the Australian health care for therefugees and the asylum seeker. The complexity not only creates confusion among the refugeesbut also among the health care professionals and the community workers (McKay et al., 2012).Thus breaching the basic human rights and integrity. Significant gaps has been noted in thepractical implementation of the policies and coordination between the state and the commonwealth government. In spite of several immigration policies, the basic rights of the asylum seekers are not yetpreserved in most of the cases. Evidences are there regarding the health outcomes such asperinatal mortality, accidents and the disabilities in the migrants and the ethnic minorities(McKay et al., 2012).
