There are millions of emigrant workers in Europe and the Americas.
When people get dissatisfied with the social, political and financial conditions in their homeland, they become emigrants and wait for an opportunity or create an opportunity to emigrate to other foreign lands.
Refugees and asylum seekers are not considered as emigrants because they do not leave their country own their own interest but because they are forced to leave due to other political or military reasons.
It is to be noted that not all emigrants from one country go to another country as labourers just for money or as asylum seekers, there are some that go for better weather conditions and some other on business ventures.
