@consumablejoy @blogdiva @LilPecan I know people from Central America who has been to the US as illegal migrants. They save money to build a house and start a small business, come back to their country, then marry and continue with their lives. They're not "on a mission" with some company but they're in a temporary situation as well, working for big bakeries or in restaurant's kitchens. And they're not called "expats", because they're not from a rich country.
