Default migrant

Estoy confundida con la palabra "migrant" casi nunca la oigo aplicada a las personas sino a cosas, como "el movimiento migrante" pero nunca oigo decir "los migrantes" sino "los emigrantes," bueno, después de esta introducción, aquí esta la frase, ustedes cómo la traducirían?

"Mexican migrant worker finds success"
Tal vez:
"Trabajador migrante mexicano encuentra el éxito" ? o
"Trabajador emigrante mexicano encuentra el éxito"?

¿Ustedes que dicen?

Hola!
Creo que "emigrante" queda bien como sustantivo, pero en este caso es un adjetivo (de trabajador), por lo que sugiero poner "migratorio": Trabajador migratorio mexicano...

YEAAHH, the Immigrants are not people. Of course they never say this explicitly, but it saturates the subtext of anti-immigration arguments.

the dehumanization of immigrants is done through words -- "hordes" "pouring" across the border, not people walking across --


hi

Tal vez se refiera a los trabajadores que van de puesto en puesto, sin demasiada estabilidad, aquí en Argentina se les llama "trabajadores golondrina"

Default Re: migrant

Migrant workers are workers moving from one region of the country to another to find employment. Migrant workers are used extensively for crop harvesting, mandating that they follow the harvest seasons.

It may be translated as:

trabajador migrante, temporal, transitorio.

Default Re: migrant

Emigrante es alguién de otro paíz quien viene a vivir en este.
Migrantes son campesinos que van de una parte del paiz a otra según las temporadas de cosecha para trabajar en la agricultura.
