Definitions Refugee is a person who is leaving the homeland because of persecution due to political, religious, war-related or other reasons. The person cannot return to the land of origin because of safety reasons. A refugee will seek governmental permission to relocate and is legally admitted to a host country.

Definitions An asylee is a person who is leaving the homeland because of persecution due to politics, religion, war-related and other reasons. He or she is granted refugee status after entering the host country.

Definitions An immigrant is a person who voluntarily leaves the homeland and seeks employment, family reunification, or well-being opportunities in another country. An immigrant can be legal with documents or illegal without documents. Illegal documentation may also be due to lapsed business, tourist, or education visas.
