Stop calling foreign employees immigrants! They are EXPATS!

It’s so fucked up that anyone coming to US for work will be labeled as an immigrant. I was thinking about it for a long time bc in other countries even if you get work visa, then PR and passport you are a foreign employee not immigrant. I concluded that it’s coming from how US classifies visas and H-1B is an immigrant type visa. Actually, I don’t care about the types. Just call EXPATS!)

Wrong, when Irish and Italian came to America 100 years ago, they were called immigrants.

Brown = Mexicans or Indians? It’s funny how Indians always like to call themselves brown thinking they get exclusive use of that race card, but don’t realize Mexicans also call themselves brown.

Are you going to return to your home country? If not, then you are an immigrant. I am an immigrant and am proud of it

Same, expats get their living expenses paid by their employers! Do you have a fucking high rise condo paid for? I don't. My friends in the oil industry, working in Malaysia have... I am an immigrant. Albeit with a US passport now...

When I was intern, my housing was paid for by the company. I also got relocation package when I joined. So that fits your definition and hence I'm and expat.

You consider someone with passport who can vote expat? I concluded that you are a racist. Actually, I don't care about the types. Just call RACIST.

Calm down the amount of racism is 0% in this thread. We got a case of somebody lazy to check the dictionary.

Malania is immigrant not expat since she is from Eastern Europe and came to the US with no intention of going back.
