Foreign Born was an American folk rock band, formed in San Francisco in 2003. The band self-released its first 12" single ("We Had Pleasure" b/w "Escape"), and then its first EP In the Remote Woods through StarTime International Records. While touring the US and UK with Rogue Wave, Jason Collett, Cold War Kids, Giant Drag and We Are Scientists, Foreign Born recorded its first full-length album, On the Wing Now, in fall and winter 2005, and self-released 500 or so copies that were sold on the tours, and officially released the album with Dim Mak on August 21, 2007. The band appeared in Spin magazine in October 2007. Another album, Person to Person, was released on June 23, 2009, by the Secretly Canadian record label. In August 2011, the band had stopped working.
Foreign-born (also non-native) people are those born outside of their country of residence. Foreign born are often non-citizens, but many are naturalized citizens of the country in which they live, and others are citizens by descent, typically through a parent. The term foreign born encompasses both immigrants and expatriates but is not synonymous with either. Foreign born may, like immigrants, have committed to living in a country permanently or, like expatriates, live abroad for a significant period with the plan to return to their birth-country eventually. The status of foreign born — particularly their access to citizenship — differs globally. The large groups of foreign-born guest workers in the Gulf Cooperation Council states, for example, have no right to citizenship no matter the length of their residence. In Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, by contrast, foreign born are often citizens or in the process of becoming citizens. Certain countries have intermediary rules: in Germany and Japan it is often difficult but not impossible for the foreign born to become citizens.
