      To be fair, they are pretty bad, unless you do like America and only allow people with certain skills and intelligence. Allowing refugees from war torn countries is very nice, but ultimately brings that war to the country itself and changes the culture into something very different.

      Or it’s a term tied to tax status that is easier to say than explaining taxation status for those living abroad 🤷

      No, it’s all just a big racist conspiracy, don’t bother looking up any definitions or anything lmao
