That sir...
Would make them a refugee.

Yes.
Mine was off the mark.

An immigrant could be an individual who, out of necessity, makes the move to provide a better way of life for him/herself and or the family or to escape persecution in his/her own country.
However, we shouldn't forget about the waves of European immigrants who fled to the Americas in order to achieve a better way of life for themselves and their families and, in some cases, persecution.
They may have chosen to relocate, but their choice was rooted in need.

Ah yes, the history of the Americas is indeed grand however I think we can all agree,
at this point in time there is no need to repeat it nor rewrite it.
