Expat is the correct term . He also argues that Australia is effectively part of the empire, while Iraq, Syria and Sudan are not.

That is a joke, of course.

His main argument is that he came the legal way, with a passport, etc. He waited a year to get into the country, delaying his marriage and other plans.

My dad wasn't a strong Leave supporter, he only wants restrictions for Asylum seekers/refugees etc.
