"The word originally referred to the Huguenots".
"Refugee comes from a tangled web of related words, and though they show a certain family resemblance, these words are also fiercely independent. Their shared roots go all the way back to Latin, but refugee came directly from the French word réfugié with a very specific meaning: it referred to Protestants who fled France following the revocation in 1685 of the Edict of Nantes, the law that granted religious liberty and civil rights to the Protestant Huguenots for nearly a century. Over 400,000 French Protestants left France in the following years, many to Protestant England." “Los netos ‘españoles’ del exilio” (por Miguel Ángel Ortega Lucas, Ctxt - Contexto y Acción)2/2/2020 "Descendientes de españoles en el extranjero, que no pudieron obtener la nacionalidad por carencias en la Ley de Memoria Histórica, piden el acceso a ella para reparar desigualdades jurídicas dentro de sus familias, pero también por sus lazos emocionales."

More than a dozen states and at least six cities have sued to block the Trump administration from adding the question to the 2020 Census, alleging that it would depress turnout in states with large populations of immigrants. The decennial survey is key to determining how federal funding is spent nationwide. The Census Bureau plans to ask people if they are U.S. citizens in the 2020 count of the nation’s population, igniting fears that the information could be used to target those in the country illegally.

"Más de 120 barcos canarios ilegales cruzaron el Atlántico entre 1948 y 1952 en búsqueda de una vida más próspera. Los últimos supervivientes relatan un viaje lleno de penurias, sin agua ni comida y a merced de los temporales.
