  1. define:immigrant

    Someone who has become a lawful permanent resident.

    Thus Illegals are not immigrants.


  2. refugee -- someone displaced by an event, like a war,  volcano eruption, flood, etc.

    immigrant-- someone who moves to another country to live.  they follow the new countries laws and guidelines for entry and residency. they become citizen of the new country,.

    illegal-- someone who  enters another country and does not follow the laws and guidelines of entry.  they might stay for life, they might  stay temporarily.

    people hate illegals and refugees(depending upon the situation of the refugee)

  3. The answer is in the same words, by definition.

    Immigrant, who moves out of his country and into another.

    Refugee, somebody who escapes from persecution

    Illegal, something that does not follow the law

    If I answer your last question, I will be deleted in Yahoo

  4. A refugee is seeking assylm normally a political refugee.

    A immigrant is someone who has legally migrated to another land with th intention of staying perminently

    An illegal aliegn has illegally entered and does not belong there much less has the right to receive free benefits from pandering politicians

  5. Refugee is someone seeking refuge from some man made or natural calamity. Immigrant is someone who has moved their residence to another country legally. Illegal is a person who migrates illegally to another country. I don't know which is hated more but the  idiot who posted here first is probably 1 of the most hated.

  6. Varient shades..............All of em

    We don't need more lower class we got enough......................

  7. A refugee is someone that quaiifys for emergency funds through the state.also one who servived a declared emergency from there country and ended up here.An immigrant is someone who is from another country but upon getting here became legal by schooling or what ever the case may be.At (certain times) our government has allowed illegals to go to school to become educated on the basics of our launguage and to learn who our President is and to learn the laws.An illegal is someone from another country who is here and cant become legal because they are not a refugee or immigrant and the time frame has passed for them to have a chance to become legal.

  8. I have lived and worked around a lot of Spanish people in New Mexico. Most of them hate illegal aliens, even using the words wt bck. When I lived in Chicago though you would rarely hear talk like that. I think as far as hate goes, it depends on where you live geographically. The refugee doesn't have a chance, the immigrant waits for a chance, and the illegal just takes a chance.

  9. refugee:

    someone who came to the

    country to seek refuge from

    their own

    immigrant:

    someone who migrated from

    a different country, sometimes

    temporary and sometimes permanently

    illegal immigrant:

    an immigrant who is not counted

    as a citizen, they "snuck in".

  10. A refugee is fleeing one country to another, usually for the personal safety or freedom.  

    An immigrant moves from one country to another country for many possible reasons, doing so with the new country's permission.

    An illegal immigrant moves to a new country without that country's permission.  They've broken that country's laws by the way they have entered and are living there.

    For the hate part, some people hate anyone different than themselves.  Politically, in the US, many people hate that there are illegal immigrants here, and that they often get privileges from the taxpayers' dollars that they don't deserve.  

  11. None. They are all immigrants.
