The conjugation goes like this:

"I am an expat."
"You are an immigrant."
"He/she is a bloody foreigner."

Is there a better collective noun to use? An irony of expats maybe?

Yes, it's either "migrants" or "long-term holidaymakers".

"Expat" properly refers to someone sent abroad by their company on an expat package — paid under home-country terms, not local ones.

I doubt the crowd in Benidorm are being paid to sip lager, scoff fish and chips, and roast in the sun. 🤣🤣🤣
