You would clearly be surprised how many naturalised foreigners there are
in the country.

If they are naturalised, are they foreigners?

No, and that's the point. People assume that everyone with a "foreign
accent" is a "foreigner".

Yes they are. If you weren't born here you're foreign accemt or no. End of.

I presume you've never had the urge to work overseas?

What exactly has that got to do with the definition of a foreigner?

That if you went to work overseas you'd be discriminated against as a
foreigner, even if you jumped through the hoops to become a naturalised
citizen.
