To be fair, I think "refugee" is an interesting term in 2019.

vs. "immigrant".

All the people coming in from south america are apparently "refugees" because they are fleeing a miserable life of poverty and violence.

Are they "immigrants" when they are just coming here anyway, but had an "okay" life back in their native country?

Are we still allowed to call them "illegal immigrants" when they enter the country illegally?? Or is that frowned upon? Some places were trying to ban calling them illegals.

What about "illegal refugee"??? I don't think I've ever seen that one.

How do the semantics on this work?

Trying to justify whether they should be let in, based on how sad their origin story is. Pulling on the heartstrings of America. Trying to make people look bad for not letting them all in.

Interesting times we live in.
