Americans are showing renewed interest in moving to NZ. Those who have made the leap love its free healthcare and natural beauty, but warn fleeing is not a ‘golden parachute’
Not sure the point of your comment. The article uses that word, or ither forms of it a bunch, they are not shying away from it.
An immigrant is someone who moves TO a country. An emmigrant is someone who moves FROM a country. These are both permanent moves (or intended to be).
An expat is someone who LIVES in another country. Formally it means temporarily but I’ve seen it colloquially used for both temp and permanent.
So “US expats in New Zealand” is precise and inclusive whereas “immigrant” means people from any country who moved permanently. Imprecise and non inclusive.
