Refugees are people who seek protection in the United States because of fear of persecution in their homeland. Legal immigrants are people who are not citizens but are legally allowed to live and work in United States, usually because they fulfill labor demands or have family ties. Lawful permanent resident is another name for legal immigrants. Unauthorized immigrants may have crossed a border into the United States illegally, or their legal permission to stay in the United States may have expired.
