REFUGEES , MIGRANTS AND ASSYLUM SEEKERS

People who leave their home countries to try and make their homes elsewhere are called migrants, asylum seekers or refugees. These terms are not synonyms and there are important distinctions between them. Do your research and determine what they are; then, write an essay comparing and contrasting them in order to better understand the issue.
