permanent residents
People who remain
Permanent residents are people authorized to live indefinitely in a country where they aren't citizens.
In the United States, permanent residents hold green cards granting work authorization and most rights of citizenship except voting in federal elections.
The status is "permanent" in contrast to temporary visas, though it can be revoked for criminal offenses or extended absence: She's been a permanent resident for fifteen years but never applied for citizenship.
