But if they speak english they aren’t immigrants, they are “expats”.
Ah, casual racism.
I hate the word expat for this exact reason.
When you're overseas you're a foreigner by definition, but they see this as a dirty word.
Ridiculous.
Funny side-note, when Chinese people are overseas speaking Chinese, they refer to local people as "foreigners", which I think is an interesting language quirk. So instead of changing the words they use based on where they are (which I believe is the actual literal meaning of the word they use, "外国人" means "outside country person) they're instead using it from the perspective of someone who is outside their national identity.
Disclaimer, I do not speak a high level of Chinese.
The incredible disconnect with the expat community that they are literally immigrants in a foreign country. Don't visit the expat social groups if you don't want to be pissed off.
The only ethical illegal immigration is MY illegal immigration!
They don't hate illegal immigrants, they hate the poors
What part of "me" in the "thee rule" don't you understand?
Rules for thee.
Standard.
I love the irony of "not stopping determined British residents from crossing the channel" bit. Stop the boats! Stop the boats! Farage not up for a bit of target practice anymore?
90 day what now?
