Nonsense. Expat indicates citizenship status. An expatriate is a person temporarily residing in a country other than that of their citizenship. An immigrants on the other hand is a person in the process of changing their citizenship to their new resident country.
I've never heard a European immigrant referred to as an Expat in New York.
Here in China we are certianly not immigrants because it is made absolutely clear we are expected to eventually leave.
If anything the question is why are some people called Expats and some called Migrant Worker?
