“They’re not real asylum seekers, they’re only economic migrants!”

The philosophy behind this: poverty doesn’t count as a proper problem. A real problem would be something like not being able to vote

Anti-materialism with the mask off.

    It is “expat” for expatriate but it applies to anyone who lives in a country other than one they are a citizen of (not that I have ever heard it for anyone other than Americans living in SEA or South America, which I think is your point). I’ve never heard it in reference for work, only people who had cash (retirement or settlement) moving to a less expensive region to make it go further.
