Refugee (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
asylum seeker
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">refugee</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I have seen 'Political refugee' mean 'asylum seeker' so perhaps 'refugee' could also mean 'asylum seeker')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for asylum seeker that I've seen before include "Refugee hoping to stay" , "Political refugee" , "Person hoping to find sanctuary elsewhere" .)
