Abstract
For purposes of this chapter, the term “immigrants” refers to those entering a new country in order to settle there. The term “migrants” refers primarily to farmworkers who migrate in groups of individuals or groups of families within the borders of a country to seek agricultural employment. The most obvious difference between the two groups is mobility or residential status.
