It took us Germans a long time to realize that our country has become a country of immigration. So foreign workers were referred to as Gastarbeiter ("guest worker(s)") instead of migrants for a long time. And it looks like the Germans are not the only ones who believe that most migrants will eventually "go home" again - in Russian, the German term has caught on in the form of гастарбайтер ("gastarbaiter"), with the stress on the last "a" instead of the first one.
