> Immigration doesn't imply permanency. Indeed, most migrants don't aim for permanent residency.
I believe you're confusing immigration[0] and migration[1]. The former aims for permanent residency or naturalization, the latter is temporary.

- cedilla 5y agoI don't. Immigrants and emigrants are the same just seen from different perspectives, with migrants describing both. Please note that general dictionaries are always a poor source when discussing word definitions. Their aim is to clarify word usage, not to define terms. Wiktionary is also sadly of garbage quality, and I say that as a former very active wiktionary editor.
