Migrant or Refugee? There Is a Difference, With Legal Implications
In the first half of this year alone, at least 137,000 men, women and children crossed the Mediterranean Sea to reach the shores of Europe, according to the United Nations. Thousands are traveling across the Balkans now. However, are they refugee or migrants? Does it make any difference? In search for these answers, let’s read the interview.
Q. Does it matter what you call them?
A. Yes. The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are sometimes used interchangeably, but there is a crucial legal difference between the two.
Q. Who is a refugee?
A. Briefly, a refugee is a person who has fled his or her country to escape war or persecution, and can prove it.
Q. What does the distinction mean for European countries?
A. Refugees are entitled to basic protections under the 1951 convention and other international agreements. Once in Europe, refugees can apply for political asylum or another protected status, sometimes temporary. By law, refugees cannot be sent back to countries where their lives would be in danger. “One of the most fundamental principles laid down in international law is that refugees should not be expelled or returned to situations where their life and freedom would be under threat,” the refugee agency said in a statement on Thursday.
Q. Who is a migrant?
A. Anyone moving from one country to another is considered a migrant unless he or she is specifically fleeing war or persecution. Migrants may be fleeing dire poverty, or may be well-off and merely seeking better opportunities, or may be migrating to join relatives who have gone before them. There is an emerging debate about whether migrants fleeing their homes because of the effects of climate change – the desertification of the Sahel region, for example, or the sinking of coastal islands in Bangladesh – ought to be reclassified as refugees.
Q. Are migrants treated differently from refugees?
A. Countries are free to deport migrants who arrive without legal papers, which they cannot do with refugees under the 1951 convention. So it is not surprising that many politicians in Europe prefer to refer to everyone fleeing to the continent as migrants.

Capitulo IX
Passaram-se semanas. Jerônimo tomava agora, todas as manhãs, uma xícara de café bem grosso, à moda da Ritinha, e trabalhava dedos dois de parati “pr'a cortar a friagem”.
Uma transformação, lenta e profunda, operava-se nele, dia a dia, hora a hora, reviscerando-lhe o corpo e alando-lhe os sentidos, num trabalho misterioso e surdo de crisálida. A sua energia afrouxava lentamente: fazer-se contemplativo e amoroso. A vida americana e a natureza do Brasil patenteavam agora os aspectos imprevistos e sedutores que o comoviam; esquecia-se dos seus primitivos sonhos de ambição, para idealizar felicidades novas, picantes e violentas; tornava-se liberal, imprevidente e franco, mais amigo de gastar que de guardar. [...]
(AZEVEDO, Aluísio. O Cortiço. 3ª ed. São Paulo: Martin Claret, 2010, p.90)
No romance O Cortiço, o personagem português Jerônimo vai, segundo o narrador, aos poucos, “abrasileirando-se”, afrouxando seus trajes, o que confirma a filiação da obra a corrente filosófica em voga no mundo ocidental, na época (século XIX ), a qual defendia que o ser humano:
Meninos Carvoeiros
Os meninos carvoeiros
Passam a caminho da cidade.
- Eh, carvoeiro!
E vão tocando os animais com um relho enorme.
Os burros são magrinhos e velhos.
Cada um leva seis sacos de carvão de lenha.
A aniagem é toda remendada.
Os carvões caem.
(Pela boca da noite vem uma velhinha que os recolhe, dobrando-se com um gemido.)
- Eh, carvoeiro! Só mesmo estas crianças raquíticas
Vão bem com estes burrinhos descadeirados.
A madrugada ingênua parece feita para eles ...
Pequenina, ingênua miséria!
Adoráveis carvoeirinhos que trabalhais como se brincásseis!
- Eh, carvoeiro!
Quando voltam, mordendo num pão encarvoado.
Encarapitados nas alimárias,
Apostando corrida,
Dançando, bamboleando nas cangalhas como espantalhos desamparados!
(BANDEIRA, Manuel. Antologia Poética. 10ª ed. Rio de Janeiro: José Olympio Editora, 1978)
O poema aborda um grave problema social, que é o trabalho infantil. A gravidade do tema está coerente com um dos versos cuja conjugação verbal destoa da aparente descontração dos meninos. Assinale-o.
