In recent years, the terms “migrant,” “immigrant,” and “refugee” have become loaded with political meaning. The use of these terms also reflects a broader trend of racism and xenophobia in Western societies. In Europe, the word “migrant” is often used to describe people from Africa and the Middle East, even though many of them are refugees who have fled war and violence. This “othering” of migrants has contributed to a hostile environment in many European countries. In the United States, the word “immigrant” is often used to refer to people from Latin America, while “migrant” is used to describe people from other regions. The term “refugee” is usually reserved for people who have fled their home countries due to war or persecution. The way these terms are used can have a significant impact on how people are treated. For example, in 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals.” This rhetoric helped to fuel an anti-immigrant sentiment that has led to policies like the Muslim Ban and the separation of families at the US-Mexico border.
