    It’s a term that rustles my jimmies. You’re an expat if you’re moving to a country for work, you’re an immigrant if you are moving to live.

      That seems to imply immigrants move to countries to laze around and do nothing. You’re not allowed to stay in the country anyway if you don’t have a job or have some kind of visa that doesn’t require you to work. “Expats” are immigrants like the rest of them.
