Immigrant

A person who settles in another country to live and work. It is often difficult to obtain a visa or work permit. Without these a person is considered “undocumented.”

Refugee

A person who fells their homeland owing to war or persecution. People who are recognized as refugees by the US government are eligible for public assistance, services and residency.

The line between immigrant and refugee is often a blurred one.
