Just a question, when does an 'immigrant' stop being called an immigrant?

Second, third, fourth generation?

I have some Irish friends who who be interested in the answer, or is it not applicable because they are white?
That was my thought really, which is why I asked it of Jambutty. A lot of the people that he is calling 'immigrant' are probably 2nd or 3rd generation. If that is the case then he is basing his argument and his assumptions on 'colour' and not strictly speaking on religion.
