"When is an immigrant not an immigrant?" asks lefty politics academic Rob Ford (University of Manchester) https://twitter.com/robfordmancs
There is a simple and straightforward answer to this: when the interloper is in a country with the consent of the majority of the host population.
If the majority want you there you can be an expat.
If the majority don't want you there you are just an immigrant (and an unwanted one).
It all relates to democratic consent.
