A
person that, usually for
political or
economic reasons, decides to
emigrate from their
country to live in yours. More often than not,
off the boat immigrants bring with them the
customs and
world view of their
homeland. Unfortunately, at least in
America, most immigrants tend to earn
minnimum wage and live in the
ghetto. Eventually, immigrants may become
citizens of their new country, and also learn the
native language.
