immigrants
SayIM-i-gruhnts/ˈɪmɪɡɹənts/
- 1Plural of immigrant.
Thousands of immigrants arrived at the port during the spring.
Recent immigrants often settle near relatives who came before them.
Note
A regular plural that covers both nouns behind it: people who settle permanently in a new country, and plants or animals that establish themselves where they did not exist before. Only the noun takes the -s. Before another noun the word acts as an adjective and stays singular (immigrant families, immigrant neighborhoods), so "immigrants communities" is an error.
