Economic Migrants vs Refugees

 Economic Migrants vs Refugees

What's the difference? The difference is Economic Migrants emigrate to other countries primarily out of economic necessity and many face many barriers and in many cases can't move up the economic leader. 

Refugees are people that have been forced to leave their homes due to war or famine and get political asylum, but the main difference is Refugees are given many incentives, resources, free education, subsided housing and money to start over and they are put in front of the line so they have an advantage over Economic Migrants. 

Sadly Hispanics from Latin America fall under the category of economic migrants and they face more barriers to getting education, good jobs or housing while refugees like Palestinians for example they are given preference because they are fleeing war, oppression and political repression and as with any group of people that are refugees they will always have an advantage over economic migrants. That's why the American Dream only reaches some people but not others and only 1 in 10 get it meaning the other 9 don't attain it.
