[quote=LEOPOLD219,257620]As we talked about China's robust growth, we oftern ignored many migrating farmers. Without migrating farmers, China's prosperous scene  will be compromised to a large extent. Here, can we talk about the benefits and harms of the constant flow of migrating farmers into cities?

My friend has written a short paper about this question. Here it goes:

A constant flow of migrating farmers into cities may put much pressure on city services and public facilities, and cause a rising crime in urban areas. With many migrating farmers moving to work in cities, cities are becoming more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and public facilities are being strained to a breaking point. With the sharp rise of migrating farmers in cities, the criminal rate also increased. Not a single day passes without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped, murdered or raped. According to Deng Yuanhong, Deputy Procurator for Nanjing, in the period 2004-2005, 78 cases of rape were allegedly committed by migrating farmers in four districts of Nanjing, accounting for 48% of all such cases in the districts.

Do you agree with him? If not, what are your viewpoints?[/quote]
