You ' re trying to go to extremes . You don ' t fuck with nature . You ' re clearly an extremist , so you might as well care about every single orgsnism ever . <| sep |> It worked amazing for newer people like me though . Would be nice if we could have some middle ground . <| sep |> There is a difference . A migrant is someone who moves to a new country with the intention of settling permanently . An expatriate is someone who moves abroad for a temporary period with the intention not to obtain citizenship , and to at some point return home . If Farage decides to move permanently , he would be an emigrant because he ' s coming from our country to go there . If he decides to live there temporarily , he ' s an expatriate . Diplomats and in most cases students are expatriates . I think there ' s a lot of confusion surrounding those terms .
