The term used for a national living abroad, or a permanent resident of foreign origin, is often an "Expatriate" or expat.
A person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing.
This needs a long discussion for me. The answer is totally wrong (I didn't down vote it though). But in the most literal terms an expat seems to be the same as an e/immigrant. How are they different then?

Not to detract in any way from what Rob has said, let me offer a little mnemonic trick I learned as a kid and which has always served to distinguish the two words:
An immigrant is an in-migrant, someone who has migrated in to somewhere else. You remember it because i...
Your wish is granted.
Now why the hell did my emasculatory answer get two downvotes? Have I gored someone’s sacred cow, or what?
@Rob I’m not trying to supplant your answer, just trying to grant @Mitch his request.
No, it is not. An émigré is a forced political exile. An expat is just a temporary migrant, usually for (very generally speaking) business purposes in my own experience.
The US ambassador to China is not an émigré, although he is an American expat living abroad.
> If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull must be stoned and the owner also must be put to death.
> But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
A wonton ox.
Good in Chinese soup, they say.
Oh check this out:
> Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
That’s a subjunctive form!
> If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
> But if the ox gores a slave, either male or female, the animal's owner must pay the slave's owner thirty silver coins, and the ox must be stoned.
> And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
> If someone's ox injures a neighbor's ox and the injured ox dies, then the two owners must sell the live ox and divide the price equally between them. They must also divide the dead animal.
> Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
> However, if it was known that the bull had the habit of goring, yet the owner did not keep it penned up, the owner must pay, animal for animal, and the dead animal will be his.
> But if the ox had a reputation for goring, yet its owner failed to keep it under control, he must pay full compensation--a live ox for the dead one--but he may keep the dead ox.
I am waiting for the rain to stop. It's museum night, so we're visiting lots of musea tonight, all with one ticket. Thankfully my house is in between musea, so I could take cover. Next museum is a 17th-century secret church.
Because catholics weren't allowed to practice in public.
It was not really "secret", but unobtrusive from the outside.
What? Not knowing anything, weren't there hapsburgs and such transferring pieces of Europe from royal fmail to royal family and at some point there were the 'Spanish' Netherlands?
A handful of Spanish representatives were probably scattered around the provinces, but you mustn't forget how little power the King had over the various countries, duchies, and bishoprics.
@Cerberus But if the history books call it Spanish Netherlands, either the Dutch moved to a small part of Spain, or the Spanish invaded and colonized the Netherlands, eradicating the local populace. Since you are presumably now not in Spain, the only conclusion we can make is that you are in fact of Spanish descent... Pedro.
Now that @Cerberus is gone, isn't it a little late to be going to church? It's not like it's Christmas or something. I have a feeling alcohol is involved.
