EXPATRIATE AND MIGRANT


An expatriate is a person who lives in another country different from that of birth, but expatriates don't plan to reside permanently in this new country. They try to maintain their roots, and to guard the citizenship of their origins.
They usually form communities in the country where they live with people who belongs to their original country.
They usually move from their original home because of their work, and new opportunities that exist in other countries.
A migrant usually plan to reside permanently in a new country and acquiring permanent citizenship there, trying to leave behing their roots.

Most of the reason because they migrate are: insecurity, poverty and because in foreign countries exist more opportunities.
Also there are four forms of migration: Voluntary, foced, economic and non ecnomic.
