My friend keeps saying he is not an Immigrant but I am sadly confused as what really Immigrant is.
Basically to get to the point. He was born in UK and has lived here for 19/20 years, although has visited the US on holidays and every so often. Heh as family living their which I think is his uncle, aunty or something along those lines. As far as I know they are also from UK but have lived their for some time. So he was born in UK but had a US citizen ship since his birth. He is now moving together with his parents and sister to the US.
So as far as I know moving from country A to country B is called migration (the process) meaning that when he moves to the US he is an immigrant regardless of his citizenship as he was born in the UK and has lived 'here' for most of his life. Of course I know that he is a LEGAL Immigrant but the point being, he is an immigrant which he is denying.
Rather childish thing to argue about but you should really see what he argues about at times, not just with me but other lads in our class.
So, is he an Immigrant? At least by my way of thinking it would mean, yeah he is. What do you think?
