      First generation doesn’t mean migrant. Migrants cross the border to work but live in their home nation.

          “Migrant worker” has a specific meaning.

          This is not a hot take by me. This is just you not knowing what words mean

            You didn’t say “migrant worker,” you said “migrant.” All words have specific meaning, that’s not a hot take either.

                The chain starts off talking about children. A lot of children commuting internationally to MS these days? Are we granting work visas to children all of a sudden? Clearly no one in this thread is working from the same definitions, but that’s actually how language works. Specificity is key if you don’t want to be misunderstood.
