@Obsolesce also to complicate matters WAY further....
If an American is born abroad, and brought back to the US, they are NOT considered immigrants. But if they stayed where they were born, they would be considered immigrants. Even though they were born there, often.
Italians stay Italians forever, in many cases. With Italy recognizing citizenship indefinitely. So for example, my wife is the daughter of an Italian citizen. So in some contexts, she herself is an immigrant, even having been born in the US. No one uses it that way, but Italians specifically have this complexity that most countries do not.

That's because there is a difference between being "born abroad", as in on vacation or on a short residency, and simply born in a different country than your parents because they had emigrated.

There is, definitely. But it makes the concepts murky. Like my kids were birn abroad to Italian parents. But are Americans. But are often called immigrants.

Yeah. I want to stay in Spain, of course, but we are worn out from the constant "travel" and I really miss my kids. Going to be "traveling" in NY for the next three weeks, though.

Trip is done, time to head for home. See everyone from the US (or from the airport, probably.)
