I am a migrant, I was doing ok, but decided to move to another country for work.

If you HAVE to try to get to another country - even risking your life - where you apply for asylum you are a refugee. After the official investigation and evaluation you can either get the actual refugee status or not, but you will never ever get any other status. Either refugee or go home, they would never become (economic) migrants.

The term migrant was used instead refugees heavily by Hungarian (Russian) propaganda during 2015-2016 in order to reduce empathy. The Hungarian media was also instructed not to show women and children at all under any circumstances.

It is disgusting that russian and right wing trolls / politicians managed to bully most media into the incorrect usage of the word migrants.
