Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immigrants are individuals or groups who have voluntarily moved to a new nation-state from another country. They retain their cultural, ethnic, and linguistic background, but have chosen to live in a new country for economic, social, or political reasons. Therefore, immigrants are one type of ethnic group, but they differ from indigenous peoples who are the original inhabitants of a region or substate nations who seek political autonomy from a larger state, and from civic nations which are defined by their political institutions, rather than ethnic or cultural identity.
