They should be called immigrants like the rest of us.

Immigrants and expats are different categories of international migration.

There's a sort of stupid Twitter meme going around that whether someone is an "immigrant" or "expat" depends on their demographics (race, wealth, etc). It should be immediately obvious to an ordinary observer that this isn't true.

What do you mean by different categories? I really don't see the difference.

If someone from Zimbabwe moves to the US - they are an expat from Zimbabwe's POV and an immigrant from the US's POV. Vice-versa for someone going the other way.

The only difference I could find is that some sources consider expats not to have a long term intent to settle in the country. But this article contradicts that and explicitly talks about job prospects and the ease of settling in a new country. That sounds exactly like an immigrant to me.
