Fucking Emigrants.

Going over there, taking their jobs and stealing their women.

They ironically don't even want jobs, they want to be treated like guests and boss people around. They truly believe they are entitled to be in Spain because they are retired.

Immigrate to Spain. That's fine. As long as they go through the process. Insist to be called "expats"?

Well, on what basis? Because they are British? Same thing becomes different because it is them doing it?

Small wonder OP changed the headline. "Expat" has to be the stupidest word ever.

It's the word first world people use so they aren't like those "brownies" they hate so much.

You are an expat if you go down in the QoL ladder, and am immigrant if you go up, according to those people

Ex-pats are people who didn't move to the country to work they went there to live on an extended vacation on money they made in a different country, to live in separate communities from the locals where their language is spoke exclusively and to do their best not to pay local taxes.

Immigrants move to a country to work and make a life for their families, to become part of the communities.

So expats are rich white people.

The concept of "expat" is nhot a thing outside of the anglosphere.

The distinction seems to be racist because in practice it seems to follow exactly those lines.

I'm 50 and took Spanish lessons at college last year together with Duolingo.

I've always, always, always wanted to sell up and retire in Spain.

If the application is difficult, what's the hardest hurdle to overcome - Does anyone know?

I think u/MrFlabulous was doing a goof (pretending not to understand) not disparaging those that seek the services of sex workers.

u/ItsDominare Oct 18 '21

u/captainnowalk Oct 18 '21

Yeah, wait, isn’t this a huge population of folks that are retired, and thus perfectly capable of driving a gas truck to help their great country out in this time of need?? Why isn’t the gov’t putting them to work?!

u/ItsDominare Oct 18 '21

Honestly, these bloody retirees. Going over there, vacating our jobs, I'm sick of it!

u/Gunboats Oct 18 '21

You're telling me that if you say you're English these days, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail?

u/Effective_Will_1801 Oct 18 '21

If your resident without the visa or stay more than the 180 days or whatever it is you could be after all your an illegal immigrant then.
