Remove the term NEW SCOTS from the migrant strategy Scotland. It's offensive.
We Scots want this term removed and never again used to describe legal or illegal migrants or Asylum seekers. Being born in Scotland means you are Scottish or a Scot. People born in other countries are not Scottish and therefore not Scots.
