      “Migrant worker” has a specific meaning.

      This is not a hot take by me. This is just you not knowing what words mean

        You didn’t say “migrant worker,” you said “migrant.” All words have specific meaning, that’s not a hot take either.

            The chain starts off talking about children. A lot of children commuting internationally to MS these days? Are we granting work visas to children all of a sudden? Clearly no one in this thread is working from the same definitions, but that’s actually how language works. Specificity is key if you don’t want to be misunderstood.
